| Title : | EVALUATING LANDSLIDE HAZARD IN THE BOUDINAR BASIN (MOROCCO) THROUGH SOIL PROPERTIES |
| Abstract : | This research assesses landslide hazards in the Boudinar Basin (Morocco) through an evaluation of the area's soil properties and their interaction with the landslide processes. From exhaustive soil sampling and analysis, three distinct zones of landslide susceptibility were established: northern, central, and southern areas. The northern area, which is relatively flat, has a low carbonate content and a very high organic matter, contributing to low landslide risk. In contrast, the central area has a relatively moderate landslide risk due to the great number of samples with moderate organic matter and high carbonate that increases landslide hazards. Southern areas which have steep slopes are very prone to landslides as a result of great mass movement. These results show the predominant role of the topographic factor and the nature of soils in the landslide risks assessment and underline the need for advanced soil conservation and risk management measures in the Boudinar Basin. |
