Abstract
Various techniques for landslide mapping, monitoring and modelling are being employed in a variety of studies to keep people safe from landslides. Guwahati, a city in Assam (India) is surrounded by hills, with varied slope angles, become prone to landslide during monsoon season. Relative increase in the moisture content of soil is a major parameter for determining the occurrence of landslides that are induced by rainfall. An experimental model with varying slope angles is demonstrated to witness some proportionality behaviour of soil moisture value for the collected soil sample from landslide prone areas. The soil moisture sensor value increases with increase in slope angle. The toe position of moisture value also shows a significant display of data during landslide. This early warning module can be incorporated with the help of Blynk Application to send messages to the residents of landslide prone areas. This study would be a cost effective alternative for landslide early warning hazard monitoring and fast emergency response process and the model may be considered as a miniature version of real-life slope conditions for the hills of Guwahati city, Assam, India.
