SPATIAL PATTERIS of LAMDSLIDE DISTEIBUTIOI CHAPTER FOUR Spatial Patterns of Landslide Distribution FOUR SPATIAL PATTERIS OF LAMDSLIDE DISTEIBUTIOI CHAPTER FOUR Spatial Patterns of Landslide Distribution 4.1 Introduction Slope failures are common in Western Ghats and undulated Konkan plains of Maharashtra. Western slopes of Western Ghat escarpment and slopes of isolated hills in the central uplands are prone to slope failures of varying magnitudes. The undulating topographical features in this area combined with heavy monsoon rainfall in this area cause landslides along major communication routes during monsoon season that is from Jime to September. Landslides along major communication routes cause losses to the man-made structures, vegetation cover, vehicles, agricultural land and sometimes even to lives of commuters. One of the catastrophic landslide episode recorded in the month of July 2005, in village Jui near Mahad claimed 95 deaths followed by over hundred fatalities around Mahad town of Raigad District (The Times of India; July 27, 2005). Another major landslide event in Malshej Ghat on 25* July 2013 blocked the Ghat road for over eight days (Times of India; 27* July 2013). Pune - Mumbai expressway, one of the busiest roadways in India is affected by landslides almost every year near Adoshi tunnel (Kumar, et.al 2010). The data obtained from Times of India news archives reveals that 89 landslide events reported during 2004 to 2014 in the study area claimed over 331 lives and many more injured (Table 4.1).

However, little attention is paid to assess landslide hazards for finding out effective mitigation measures to minimize impact of slope failures. In fact, significant amount of losses due to slope failures can be reduced if they are predicted well in advance (Brabb, 1993). Therefore, Landslide hazard assessment at various spatial scales is necessary for sustainable landslide hazard management. Preparation of complete landslide inventory with considerable details is the primary requirement for effective landslide hazard assessment. Detailed landslide inventory requires mainly the data inputs such as, location of landslide, date of the event, frequency of landslides, causes and type of mass movement (van Westen, 2006). Past landslide records, multi-temporal satellite images, aerial photographs and newspaper archives are proven database for preparation of landslide inventories. Landslide inventory provides necessary database for Landslide Hazard Zonation mapping. Complete and reliable landslide inventories provide necessary database for identification of landslide prone areas and also for evaluation of validity of LHZ models. This chapter describes landslide inventory, that is spatial and temporal patterns of landslide distribution in North Konkan using past landslide records and field investigations. The relationship between distribution of landslides with slope, elevation, drainage, geology and rainfall data is established to determine the role of geo-environmental parameters in slope instability in the study area. 4.2 Methodology This section of the study focuses on the assessment of spatial and temporal patterns of landslide distribution in North Konkan using past landslide records and field investigations. Past Landslide data were obtained from Public Works Department Government of Maharashtra, Disaster Management Cell, National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) subdivisions. Times of India news archives for the period of eleven years from 2004 to 2014 (Table 4.2). The sites of slope failures along major roads were visited and data pertaining to landslide location, slope angle, and landslide type have been recorded in the field using Global Positioning System (GPS), Laser 80 distance meter and measuring tape. Besides slope failures along the roads, few landslides located in the interior areas have been identified using data from news paper archives. The identified landslide sites were visited and discussion with local people was carried out for confirmation. Subsequently, the landslide data are plotted using Google Earthpro and Road Development Plan (2001-2020). The annual and monthly landslide frequency is obtained usuig temporal data of landslides. The annual and monthly landslide frequency is compared with rainfall data to establish relationship between rainfall and landslide occurrences. Based on the data obtained from government offices and observations recorded during field investigations, major zones of landslide concentrations are identified and mapped. The spatial distribution of landslides in the study area is compared with lithology, slope, aspect, elevation and zones of structural discontinuities (faults and lineaments). Besides, an attempt has been made to identify the role of human interventions in slope instability process along major communication routes. Land use and land cover is also compared with spatial distribution of slope failures to know the effect of land use. Land cover is also compared to understand any effect of it on occurrence of slope failures or vice versa. The details of the methodology adopted are given in Fig. 4.1. 81 METHODOLOGY Landslide Distribution Map (preliminary landslide prone zones) Google Earth Images and Road Development Plan (2001-2020) Digital Elevation Model (SRTM and ASTER) Relationship between Rainfall Data Monthly rainfall and landslide frequency (IMD) no. of rainy days and rainfall Results Fig.4. 1 Methodology Flow chart 4.3 Spatial patterns of Landslide distribution Assessment of spatial patterns of actual and potential landslides is an important step in Landslide Hazard Assessment (LHA). Past landslide records and field survey are proven data sources for landslide studies (Jaiswal et al. 2010). For the present study landslide affected areas have been identified using past landslide records of Technical Survey register (TS register) of Public Works Department, Natural Disaster report of National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), News paper archives and Disaster Management Cell (DMC of Thane Municipal Corporation). The data obtained from these government offices have been supplemented with the field survey. The details of landslide locations provided by PWD have been identified and confirmed by using GPS locations and road chainage. A total of 199 actual landslide affected locations were visited during field work and data related to landslide scar geometry were recorded in the field. 82 Table 4. 2 Landslides in North Konkan (2004-2014) areas / roads > • >> 5 > Year 1 Z u o .£3 H H X! 2004 08 11 DNA DNA 10 DNA 10 DNA 33 62 2005 48 DNA 14 DNA DNA 32 15 91 47 251 2006 0 07 14 DNA DNA 13 06 45 11 96 2007 0 02 46 DNA 01 100 07 46 19 221 2008 0 03 36 DNA 02 18 0 14 04 77 2009 01 01 11 01 01 35 04 15 02 71 2010 01 0 35 01 0 26 64 10 0 137 2011 0 0 09 05 01 19 22 25 01 82 2012 04 0 04 04 01 17 03 0 0 32 2013 01 01 08 01 0 18 01 0 02 32 2014 0 01 01 0 03 01 0 02 01 09 Total 63 26 178 12 19 279 127 248 120 1072 (Source: Public Works Departments, National Highway Authority of India, India Meteorological Department, Times of India news paper archives) North Konkan is a part of Konkan and is one of the three major landslide prone areas in south Asia (SDMA, 2007) and is susceptible to landslides of different magnitudes. 83 73°30'0"E z b b. a> V^'ITCS V^^ LS_prone areas (PWD DataM .\l|d^/•'Wp/7 T A LSJocations (field data) fX \' '•^TJSL^aiV *S»- ^—^ Expressway 1 T^NI J^^-^^Jl^^ ' l/'i State Highway ^ ''^^km\^ ^*^k'^'^rt\ National Highway JWVw''^*Vnr OaK^^^V Elevation (m) r ANL^A^^ '^^V^ll^rjii^^ < 250 MHattiKaCLiSA^jr^v 1 Z N b b- H 250-500 ^xJr ^^^^f <9-'?»IW co )• 500-750 '5-5^ 'w^T^^^r ^1 750-1000 \ <Mi^mry'' A N. ^iF^^ 0 10 20 40 Km >1000 ^v.^ ^^^ 1 1 1 1 1 1 Boundary 73°30'0"E (Source: SRTM DEM, Field Survey) Fig.4. 2 Distribution of slope failures in North Konkan region 84 North-Konkan is susceptible to slope failures of different magnitude Most of the reported landslides in the study area are confined to the western slopes of Western Ghats escarpment, slopes of isolated hillocks in the central uplands and along the edges of low level plateaus (Fig. 4.2). The records of past landslide events show significant variation in their distribution pattern (Table No. 4.2). Major concentrations of landslide affected locations in North Konkan are: 1) Daberi- Behedpada circle 2) Khodala area (Devbandhar) 3) KasaraGhat 4) Parali-Ujjaini Road 5) MalshejGhat 6) Kalwa_Mumbra 7) Pune-Mumbai-express way (Khandala section) 8) Neral Matheran Road 9) SukeliPass 10) Shrivardhan-Shekhadi Road 11) VarandhGhat 12) Mahad circle 13) Poladpur circle 4.3.1. Dhaberi-Behedpada circle This area is located in the N.E comer of the study area. Administratively the area is in Mokhada Tehsil. This area is marked by highly dissected topography several landslides locations have been identified along SH-28 Debris slump and Debris slide are common types of slopes failure where as wedge failures are also observed at places. This area is covered with the oldest basaltic formation (Salher) and classified as Magacryst flow. A major landslide with run out distance of 500 meters is observed near Behedpada village which destroyed agricultural field, a well and few hamlets in July 2005. Steep slopes (25°), heavy rainfall barren upper slopes and slope cutting for road construction are major landslide factors in this area.

The genus Graphis is characterized by: crustose, corticolous, or rarely saxicolous or foliicolous thallus; lirelline, elongate, simple to irregularly branched ascomata; simple, unbranched paraphyses; unitunicate asci with apical pore apparatus; colourless and transversely septate ascospores with lenticular cell lumina. Photobiont a green alga (generally Trentepohlia). The name Graphis was first proposed by Adanson (1763) in his treatise "Families des Plantes" for accommodating a few species of lichens known at that time. However, Linnaeus (1753) in his "Species Plantarum" had included them under Lichen scriptus while Acharius included them in Opegrapha. Acharius (1810) in his "Lichenographia Universalis" has divided Opegrapha into three genera Arthonia, Opegrapha and Graphis where Graphis is characterized by an elongate apothecium immersed in the thalline margin. Miiller Arg. (1880, 1882) in his series "Lichenoligische Beitrage" has utilized spore characters in the segregation of genera. Taking Graphis (sensu Acharius) with hyaline, transeptate spores he formulated three more genera Graphina with hyaline muriform spores, Phaeographis with brown, transeptate spores and Phaeographina with brown, muriform spores.

Patil College of Engineering, Pune, Pune, India India ABSTRACT Feasibility studies are carried out to validate expenditure on infrastructure projects. In spite the importance of the studies in supporting decisions related to public expenditure on infrastructure projects, there are no attempts to assess such studies after construction. Ghat Roads are approach routes into the mountainous region like Western and Eastern Ghats. They generally served to connect to sea side regions with the upper region Deccan plateau of the Indian Subcontinent. An analysis of a feasibility study for a state highway ghat road construction project is presented in this paper with an emphasis on the estimates, and forecasts presented in that study to weigh expected benefits from the project against expected costs. The Ghat road will improve connectivity between two tahsils, reducing the travel distance by 40.00 KMS. The Proposed road aims to reduce the Distance and travel time between two districts. This would facilitate trade, and commerce between two districts and reduce the traffic pressure on present roads passing through the existing ghats which are used to travel in kokan presently.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 INTRODUCTION Our college is functioning in the light of our Sanstha's Motto Vidyadhan Sarvdhan Pradhanam as it means Knowledge is the greatest wealth with foremost importance. It is situated in the hilly & rural and remote region of Konkan area. It is placed in the range of Sahyadri Mountain which is a part of Western Ghat having a picturesque landscape. It is the only pioneering institution imparting higher education in Poladpur tehsil. After its establishment in September 1998,under the guidance of Ex-rural Development minister of Maharashtra Hon.Shri Prabhakarji More, the college has achieved success in imparting higher education to the first learning generation of the area, particularly to girl students for whom the higher education was a distant dream. It is only after the establishment of our college, initially with Arts and Commerce streams/faculties, many of the villages of Poladpur tehsil got their first graduate students as there was no institution imparting higher education available in the area even after the fifty years of Indian independence.

Management & Research, Akurdi Abstract: Factors including earthquake, storms, volcanic eruptions, human modification of land has increased levels of causing landslide in last decades. Paper presented will give the mapping done in and around Ghat section with direct-indirect methods, there causes, impacts in last decades and way of preventing such landslides. The landslide susceptibility study gives an idea of the stability condition of the slopes so that it can be used for planning any further construction activity and remedial measures. Thus the detailed on landslide zonation mapping and risk management of Malshej Ghat are revels which are discussed in detail. Keywords: Risk management, Landslide, Natural hazards, Mapping, GPS I. INTRODUCTION A natural disaster like landslide is the outcome of combination of a natural hazard and human activities. Landslides cause a lot of casualties in a year especially those cities sited nearby foothills are more vulnerable to landslides. Depending on triggering factors, landslides vary in comparison as well as in the rate of movement. Landslides occur due to several factors such as physio-chemical variables, which contribute to landslide susceptibility, such as geology, slope characteristics, geotechnical properties, drainage patterns and dynamic variables which tend to trigger landslides such as rainfall and earthquakes.

Which amongst the above statements is /are correct? a) 1 only b) 2 only c) Both 1 and 2 d) Neither 1 nor 2 Q.1) Solution (d) Basic InFormation: • Seismic waves are waves of enerGy that travel throuGh the Earth's layers, and are a result of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, maGma movement, larGe landslides and larGe man-made explosions that Give out low-frequency acoustic energy. • The place of occurrence of an earthquake is called ‘focus’ and the place which experiences the seismic event first is called ‘epicenter’. • Epicenter is located on the earth’s surface and focus is always inside the earth. • The propaGation velocity of seismic waves depends on density and elasticity of the medium as well as the type of wave. Velocity tends to increase with depth throuGh Earth's crust and mantle, but drops sharply GoinG from the mantle to the outer core. • Seismic waves are Generally divided into 1. Primary waves, 2. Secondary waves and 3. Surface waves. Primary waves: • They are called lonGitudinal waves or compressional waves and are analoGous to sound waves where particles move to and fro in the line of propaGation. • They travel both in solid and liquid medium.
