- Management Of Landslides
- Land zoning
- Landslide hazard map shows and marks the areas of different hazard zones in various areas. they show the vulnerability of landslide prone areas.
- Coastal Defences
- These can be used to help slow down the rate of erosion and any impacts that may effect the balance of sheet stress and sheer strength
- Reduce pressure on the top of the slope, e.g. limit building
- Control slope face processes, using drains, sheet piles or steel nets (also holds slope together)
- Reduce slope foot processes, e.g. gabions, revetments
- Reduce moisture content of slope to prevent it form getting saturated, e.g. drains
- Change the angle of the slope - change its gradient so it is a gentler slope
- Plant trees and bushes - helps bind the slope and dries it out
- Land zoning
