Slope Stability Model and Landslide Susceptibility Using Geo-technical Properties of Soil - Semi-quantitative Approaches for Landslide Assessment and Prediction - page 186

sites i.e. Paglajhora (lower and upper), Tindharia, Nurbong, Shiviter and Mahanadi
are very much subjected to slope instability. The mid-central steep slope of the
watershed must be brought under immediate attention as the propensity of areal
increase in slope failure is very high as a result of drainage concentration and the
percolation of water through weak lithological composition.
