The study revealed that around 50 % area of the Shivkhola watershed was
classi
ed as being in the moderate to very high landslide susceptibility with 71 %
landslide phenomena. Low to very low susceptibility zones together accommodate
27 % of the landslide phenomena (Table
7.6
). Landslide density in each suscep-
tibility class was derived to evaluate the intensity of landslide activities. The
landslide density value ranges from 0.031 to 0.25. The calculated density value of
