Landslide
is a mass wasting process
involving sediments consisting
of rocks, organic and non-
organic debris and other
Earth materials moving down
a slope.
LANDSLIDE
WHY LANDSLIDE HAPPEN?
 Weathering and Erosion
 Earthquake
 Volcanic Eruption
 Typhoon
 Cutting down the trees and
other vegetation loosens the soil
 Overload slopes
 Illegal mining
 Aug 3, 1999, a massive landslide
occurred at Cherry Hills
( Residential area situated in
Barangay San Luis, Antipolo City
in Rizal Province.
59 people died
400 houses damaged
 The tragic incident happened
following some days of heavy and
incessant rains brought about by
the coming of Typhoon Ising.
 GEOLOGICAL WEAKNESS

 Landslide prone area

 The subdivision sits on a lakebed
with rock materials that absorbs
and hold water quickly.
 Signs of locality’s geological
instability

Slope Failure
is a phenomenon that
a slopecollapses abruptly due to
weakened self-retainability of the
earth under the influence of a
rainfall or an earthquake.

Ground Water
water stored beneath the
ground, occupying pore spaces in
soils and intertices( brack,
crevices and fissures) in the
rocks
 GROUND WATER

The rock that contains ground

water is called aquifer.
 USE OF GROUND WATER

 Use of drinking water

 Water for commercial and
industrial uses
 Source for irrigation in
agricultural areas
 Too much extraction,
underground water can lead to
lowering water table and then it
collapse which lead to the sinking
of the ground surface that is
aptly called ground subsidence.

scarcity and potability problem

water scarcity potability problem

Potable Water
is water that is safe to drink or
to use for food preparation
 The Pollution of Ground water
is caused by contamination of the
aquifer and is caused among
others by pollutants being
recklessly released to the ground
and other bodies of water that
feed aquifer.
