Abstract

Landslides and other associated m echanism of erosion have to be accepted as part of the natural proc ess. It has been observed that in rainy season and som etim es even otherwise, part of earth gives away down steep slopes causing landslides and which in turn adversely affects a variety of resources. Therefore to m itigate the losses of property and hum an lives, continuous m onitoring of active landslides and their early prediction with the help of i nstrum entation network is very m uch essential.CSIO, Chandigarh has installed an Instrum ent network at Mansa Devi (Haridwar) landslide for the first tim e in our country. The com plete system is operational round the clock and data is being collected and analy zed regularly. In this paper description of com plete instrum entation network has been explained.
