Check dams have been used throughout the world for a variety of purposes including torrent
control, water supply enhancement, agricultural land development, and watershed …

This paper represents the result of the IAEG C35 Commission “Monitoring methods and
approaches in engineering geology applications” workgroup aimed to describe a general …

The assessment and mitigation of floods in mountain streams, when large wood (LW) is
transported, pose several challenges. The process chain consisting of flood propagation …

A combined cluster and regression analysis were performed for the first time to identify
rainfall threshold that triggers landslide events in Amboori, Kerala, India. Amboori is a …

Dealing with flood hazard and risk requires approaches rooted in both natural and social
sciences, which provided the nexus for the ongoing debate on socio-hydrology. Various …

Torrent control works, such as grade control dams and sediment retention dams, are
structural measures for controlling debris flows and debris floods. In spite of the widespread …

The need for reducing erosion and sediment transport, and protecting human settlements
has urged the construction of channel control works in mountain streams. Such works …

Climate variability can be the source of several multiple hazards and damaging phenomena,
such as flash floods, debris flows, landslides, forest fires, etc. In this study the response in …

Large boulders can jam in constrictions, both in canyons and man‐made structures (eg, slit‐
dams). Boulder jamming occurs stochastically, and partially governs the outflow rate of …

Check dams and afforestation are two common measures for debris-flow mitigation;
however, there is a lack of methods allowing quantitative evaluation of check dam and …
