8. WAY TO REDUCE LANDSLIDE:
• Covering the land with impermeable membranes in order to
prevent water infiltration in the landslide;
• Directing surface water sources away from the landslides;
• Draining ground water streams away from the landslides;
• Minimizing irrigation on the surface of the soil.
• Infrastructure aspects.
• Environmental aspects.
• Don’t locate swimming pools near a slope.
