Prediction of rainfall-triggered landslides : a test of the antecedent water status model

Auteur :
CROZIER, M.J.

Description :
A rainfall-based landslide-triggering model, developed from previous landslide episodes in Wellington City, New Zealand is tested for its ability to provide a 24-hour forecast of lanslide occurrence. Together with the daily rainfall input, the soil water status has been used empirically to identify a threshold condition for landslide triggering. The model produces a satisfactory level of prediction, particularly for periods of concentrated landslide activity.
