Soil moisture is drawn up through roots and ... Mitigation efforts to reduce future slope failure begin with early identification of signs of instability, repair of surface drainage systems ...

Slope stability models also require the strength properties of the soils which were obtained from existing geotechnical ... The floodwaters and debris likely heightened the probability of slope ...
