Impact of Frequent Land sliding: A Case Study of Ambeghar Village in Patan Tashil

Introduction:

             A landslide is a mass movement of material down a slope, such as rock, earth, or debris. They can happen suddenly or more slowly over long periods of time. When the force of gravity acting on a slope exceeds the resisting forces of a slope, the slope will fail and a landslide will occur. Landslides are natural hazard which is caused by several geophysical & anthropogenic factors Landslides are caused by disturbances in the natural stability of a slope. They can accompany heavy rains or follow droughts, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions. Mudslides develop when water rapidly accumulates in the ground, resulting in a surge of water-saturated rock, earth, and debris. The four main types of movement are fall topples. Slides (rotational and translational) flows. The impact of a landslide can be extensive, including loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, damage to land, and loss of natural resources. Landslide material can also block rivers and increase the risk of floods. Pune One of the biggest landslides in the state has occurred here. Raigad recently a landslide, named the biggest after 2016 in Pune, occurred here. Satara a huge landslide took place near Pratapgarh Fort and Ambeghar Village in Patan tehsil recently. These landslides are dangerous, occur suddenly and cause significant damages (Guzzetti et al., 1999). It plays a significant role in the evaluation of landforms while constituting a severe natural hazard in many regions
