Impact of Landslides on Water Resource Management: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies
Abstract: Heavy rainfall often causes water to accumulate at the base of mountains, leading to soil saturationand the formation of mud with significantly diminished shear strength. This weakened soil conditioncannot withstand the shear stress imposed by the weight of the mountain, resulting in slope instabilityand subsequent landslides. Such landslides not only pose risks to infrastructure and human safety butalso have substantial effects on water resource management. Landslides disrupt natural water flow,cause …

ASSESSING THE EFFICACY OF BIO-COAGULANTS IN WATER TREATMENT.
Abstract: The study was designed to investigate the efficacy of Bio-Coagulants in water treatment settling tanks using alum (the commercially available coagulant) as a control for comparison. One of the most important steps in the treatment of water is coagulation, which is utilized to react with organic materials in raw water and destabilize suspended particles. Coagulants, like alum, are frequently used because they lessen the repulsive force between particulate matter, promoting …
