RinaMaiti Research Scholar, Department of Geography, Sri SatyaSai University of Technology & Medical Sciences, Sehore, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India Dr. L. Mishra Professor, Department of Geography, Sri SatyaSai University of Technology & Medical Sciences, Sehore, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India ABSTRACT This article projects a combined idea to avoid and stop a landslide issue in Darjeeling built on GIS and sensor system applications method. This method is made out of three vital components, landslide susceptibility mapping utilizing remote- detecting procedures for susceptible determination of landslide spots downsized landslide simulation tests for approval of sensor network for landslide monitoring and in situ sensor network deployment for strengthened landslide observing. The investigation catchment site is the landslide situated in Darjeeling. Landslides have dependably been a standout among the most catastrophic natural phenomena. Nonstop observing and cautioning as early as possible about the beginning of such fiasco may lead to ignore loss of human lives. With this point we have built up an observing framework organized as WSN furnished with extremely sensitive sensors equipped for estimating real time direction and magnitude of the landslide relocation. The sensors are put in request to quantify the accurate value about the parameter of the landslide. Here GPS is utilized as a part of request to decide the area of the landslide event. The activities are watched and the gathered informational collections are consequently transmitted to an associated framework and the FLUX SENSOR which is utilized as a part of this study gives an ongoing data about the present condition of the observed slope. All the more such sensors are mounted on a specific region more ahead of time for a landslide prone and associated in a network ready to remotely convey and transmit online information to an observing focus. http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 54 [email protected] S.

INTRODUCTION Landslides are the noteworthy type of cataclysmic event that causes the loss of properties and lives, particularly in the precipitous zones. The sloping landscapes are described by high vitality with precariousness and inconstancy of the majority. Landslide contrasts from alternate mass development procedures and it is the development of the mass happens essentially along a discrete disappointment surface (Sumantra SB and Raghunath P, 2016). The inside unreformed plane slips the materials and deteriorates the mass and further development incorporates the stream component. In India, the majority of the sloping areas are portrayed with the landslide catastrophe. The Darjeeling Himalaya is a piece of Lesser Himalaya. The height of the district ranges from 500 m to 2500 m above MSL. Because of shifted geomorphology and neo-structural exercises, the locale is one of the exceedingly seismic tremor inclined territories. The primary shake sorts of the Darjeeling Himalayas are Pre-Cambrian high-review gneiss and quartzite, high-review schist phyletic and calc-silicate and quartzite. The real soils of this locale are described by high grouping of iron oxide with the absence of mineral and natural supplements. The sedimentary shake of youthful collapsed mountain advances the dynamic disintegration in Darjeeling Himalaya. This area is exceedingly powerless against landslides and the beginning of storm in the north India as a rule comes full circle into huge high precipitation over the Himalayan lower region belt (Pal R, 2016). 2. OBJECTIVE Soil stabilization and free land sliding of rain water harvesting system. GIS and sensor based rain water harvesting with Artificial intelligence system. WH techniques that store water as soil moisture work by preventing (or significantly reducing) water runoff from an area using structures to hold water and thus encourage infiltration, thus increases the proportion of rainfall entering soil storage, where it can later be used directly by plants. To locate the feeble soil adjustment territory by utilizing GIS and taking preventive activities and to discover the likelihood of land sliding zone in well ahead of time by utilizing Sensor observing framework to avoid life misfortune. 3. NEED OF THE STUDY Continuous observing of ecological calamity are one of the prime need of the world. WSN is one of the real innovation that can be utilized for real time monitoring. WSN has the capacity of vast scale deployment, low cost, versatility, flexibility for various situations. WSN has its own particular restriction, for example, low memory, power, data transmission and bandwidth. The deployment and information recovery or gathering from geophysical sensors, the plan, development and deployment of WSN, the improvement of information accumulation and information collection calculations required for the system, and the system necessities of the deployed landslide detection system, information investigation. http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 55 [email protected] GIS and Sensor Based Rain Water Harvesting with Artificial Intelligence System for Free Landsliding 4. STUFY OF DARJILING HIMALAYAS Darjiling Himalayas Available records demonstrate a lamentable landslip happened on the 24th September, 1899, in and around Darjiling town because of extraordinary precipitation of 1065.50mm, executing 72 people and making tremendous misfortune land and property (Griesbach 1899-1900). The vast majority of these fifteen slides were bound to the dirt material overlying the gneissic rocks. The insecurity of the slopes steadily expanded because of dynamic retention of moisture from over the top rainfall and the cutting of slope inclines both for common and manufactured needs together with imperfect seepage. The second significant occasion of landslips in Tindharia, Darjiling, Kalimpong and Kurseong towns occurred on the fifteenth January, 1934, because of Bihar-Nepal quake, which was in charge of far reaching annihilation however not of equivalent size to that accomplished in 1899.

The Siliguri-Kalimpong railroad line was shut everlastingly, as the slopes in that district were viewed as perilous for railroads. Every one of these occasions pale into irrelevance in examination with the horrifying catastrophe, which overwhelmed Darjiling- Himalayas late in 1968. http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 56 [email protected] S. RinaMaiti and Dr. L. Mishra Figure 1 Darjiling critical area zonation Because of relentless and substantial rain of 1121.40mm in the vicinity of third and fifth October,1968 there were various landslides joined by phenomenal surges in the Tista and different rivers. Hill Cart Road and NH 31 were totally washed away. A few bridges at strategic points (The Rongpo connect on the Sikkim outskirt, a one traverse solid scaffold at Tistabazaar (market), the Railway connect at Sevok and a few others) were either washed away or seriously harmed. The loss of life, formally evaluated was 677 while informal reports put the figure significantly higher. The landslides at Giddapahar close Kurseong, harmed more than 175m of street and railroad track and crushed numerous bustee (slum) villas.

CHIRANJIB NAD. ABSTRACT: Out of the total landslide occurrences, nearly 20% are found in North Eastern region of India. The official figures of United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) and the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) for the year 2006 also states that landslide ranked third in terms of number of deaths among the top ten natural disasters, as approximately 4 million people were affected by landslides. Unless human death it poses serious damage on roadways, railways, buildings, dams and many natural resources with untold measure of ecosystem and human society. As transportation is a lifeline of a civilization and lack of self sufficiency of a region it hold an important place to meet daily needs of human beings of a region. The study route (NH 31 A, NH 55 and SH 12 A) of landlocked Darjeeling district is very much prone to landslide vulnerability. The black memories of previous massive landslide hazard took large impression on the inhabited society. Sometime the district remains isolated island due to breakdown of transportation for a stretch of days in the time of massive landslide along study route. The main objective of the study is to highlight/describe the present situation of landslide zone along three study route. The study also highlight the nature of landslide took place according to their vulnerability scale, type of movement, type of activity, type of distribution and lastly type of style for further management.

Man enjoys the beauties of nature and lives on them. But he also becomes a victim of the fury of nature. Natural calamities like famines and floods take a heavy toll of human life and property. Man seems to have little chance in fighting against natural forces. The topography of the district of Darjeeling is such that among the four sub-divisions, three sub-divisions are located in the hills where disasters like landslides, landslip, road blockade are often occurred during monsoon. On the other side, in the Siliguri Sub-Division which lies in the plain there is possibility of flood due to soil erosion/ embankment and flash flood. As district of Darjeeling falls under Seismic Zone IV the probability of earthquake cannot be denied. Flood/ cyclone/ landslide often trouble men. Heavy rains results in rivers and banks overflowing causing damage on a large scale. Unrelenting rains cause human loss. In a hilly region like Darjeeling district poor people do not have well constructed houses especially in rural areas. Because of incessant rains houses collapse and kill people. Rivers and streams overflow inundating large areas. Roads and footpaths are sub merged under water.

    CHAPTER 6 LANDSLIDE : PROBUEM AND STRATEGIES FOR ITS CONTROL. 6.1. bitroductjoii Landslide is the most pervasive of natural problems that undermine the economic and cuHurai development of Oarjeeling Himalaya in general, and the Baiason basin in particular. Chrortological studies reveal that there has k>een a sharp increase in the rate of devastating landslide since 1849, leading to great loss of life and heavy damage to land and property. The situation has further deteriorated in recent years, the last two decades having witiiessed as many as 42 devastating landslides in the Baiason basin. Extensive heedless deforestation, tea plantation, haphazard construction and inadequate drainage have led to the establishment of a vicious cycle of degradation. Heavy and concentrated rain^ll aggravates the problem further. At present, therefore, suggestion of remedial measures and their active implementation is of vital concern, both for the region and the nation as a whole, for the preservation of delicate ecological balance and geo-political stability of this exti-emely sensitive region. A number of case studies on landslide and associated problems of the Oarjeeling Himalaya have been carried out at both personal and Government levels from time to time (Griesbach, 1899-1900, Ghosh, 1950; Nautiyal, 1951 and 1966; Dutta, 1966; Sondhi, 1966; Ray & Senshamna 1967; Basu, 1969-1970; Paul, 1973; Sinha et al 1975; Venna, 1978; Basu and Saricar, 1985 and 1987, Froehlich, et al, 1991, Sarkar, 1999). The present investigator has attempted to identify the landslide prone areas, to provide corrective measures and to ensure an all round protection against the menace. Suitable case studies have also been undertaken.
