In the true sense the Europeans were the harbinger in this field. Assam by far the foremost region in tea production was closely followed by Bengal whose tea producing areas included the hill areas and the plains of the Terai in Darjeeling district, the Dooars in Jalpaiguri district and Chittagong.

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 Vi Landslide As an Agent of Rayeng Basin Degradation
    CHAPTER VI LANDSLIDE AS AN AGENT OF RAYENG BASIN DEGRADATION 6.0 Scenario of landslides The landslides are one of the significant types of natural hazards. Massive landslides make trouncing of both creature existence and assets. Yet, people livelihood in the mountainous regions is habituated to survive with such events. With the augmented tourism over the precedent few decades, residential areas have been make bigger over mountainous slopes, which of course necessitate new communication system. This disturbs the usual slopes and an environment of the mountainous regions, in that way greater than ever susceptibility to landslide happening. Geomorphic studies of landslides take account of the assessment of vulnerability and causes responsible behind occurrences. Landslides are the most significant disparaging geomorphic process accountable for degradation of Rayeng Basin. Throughout intense rainfall, the weathering process is accelerated reducing schists and mudstones into silts and fine sands, and succeeding failure of these fine materials triggers landslides in the Rayeng Basin. 6.1 Methodology of study Study of" landslides of the basin incorporate, recognition of affected areas based on the field study and secondary data from earlier study. Intensive study has been made on the factors associated to landslides such as geology, slope angles, soil, climatic condition, hydrologic conditions, vegetation, and last but not the least i.e. human interferences in the basin. In this milieu, topographical maps, geological map, satellite imageries of the basin have been studied intensively. Meteorological data are collected. On the basis of several factors an effort has been made to prepare a landslides susceptible zones map of the study area.

  • Chapter 4 Pedogeomorphic Relations Within the Basin
    CHAPTER 4 PEDOGEOMORPHIC RELATIONS WITHIN THE BASIN 4.1. liitrodactioii Although Robinson (1949) had tried to establish a relationship between soil and landfbmn when he said 'the domain of pectology may come to engross a considerable amount of dynamic geolog/" the two have been frequently treated separately with only a token of awareness of one on the other and vice versa. The increasing awareness due to modem research has led to the understanding that soil and landfbrms are closely dependent upon one other as one influences the other. This has led to the evolution of a new discipline of 'pedo-geomorphology" or soil geomorphology (Conachar & Dalrymple, 1978). The drainage basin provides a convenient and ideal natural unit for the study of pedo-geomorphic parameters and their intenelationships. Within this unit the constituent parameters of landform, soil and drainage frequently show an organized relationship and without the knowledge of the basin in which they occur many of these evente become Incomprehensible (Sarkar, 1987,1994). A realistic correlation can only be drawn if the processes of soil formation are in equilibrium with the surface and sub-surface processes, acting on the slope (Norton & Smith, 1930; Furley, 1968 & 1969; Young, 1968; Jordan, 1974; Gen-ad, 1980;). It is often assumed that the meaningful relationship t}etween slope and soil properties becomes the result of any well-organised study. In the present work pedo-geomorphic study has been carried out to determine and assess the intricate inter-relationship among some of the parameters that include the slope, infiltration and soil properties, in the Balason basin of Darjeeling Himalaya.

  • Chapter 6 Landslide : Probuem and Strategies for Its
    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.

  • Landslide Hazard in Darjeeling Himalayan Region and Its Management: a Study of Geographical Perspective
    Landslide Hazard in Darjeeling Himalayan Region and Its Management: A Study of Geographical Perspective Madhusudan Karmakar Assistant professor, Maynaguri College ABSTRACT Landslide is a recurring natural phenomenon observed in mountainous terrain of Darjeeling Himalaya. It is the most pervasive of natural hazards that undermine the economic and cultural development of Darjeeling Himalaya. It brings a great loss of life and heavy damage to land and property. The main objective of the present study is to identify the causes of landslides, their impact and to suggest necessary measures to mitigate the hazard in the Darjeeling Himalaya. The findings of the present study reveals that it is neither possible to stop the landslides nor to completely eliminate their damages but it is possible to minimize the severity of the impact and the damage potential through several structural measures and settlement policy with strong public awareness. Keywords: Geo-environment aspects; critical areas; impacts; management INTRODUCTION Landslides are the most recurring natural hazard which severely affect safety and security of inhabitants and forbid the sustainable development of the hilly areas. Due to some geological factors, unprecedented growth of population during the last few decades in the Darjeeling hill areas of West Bengal in India the problem of landslide has been very acute. The objective of the present study is to highlight the nature of landslide of the Darjeeling hilly area and to present an overview of its mitigation measures. The present study first explores the geo-environmental aspects of the Darjeeling hilly area that encourage the landslides in the area. After mentioning the critical areas of landslides the study proceeds with a description of past and present landslide disaster scenario.
