Gully and landslide treatment Preliminary survey works
• Objectives: 1. Prepare sketch map
– To prevent further degradation of the gully and showing:
landslide – Catchment area and
major land use types
– To improve water quality – Gully/landslide area and
active head areas
– Water courses (including
rills)

section where the checkdams and other techniques
measures are to be installed. Use clinometer
and measuring tape.

Summary: Gully and landslide
treatment techniques
• Bioengineering techniques (fascines, palisade,
brush layering, brushwood checkdams etc.)
• Structural techniques (loose stone and gabion
checkdams, retaining walls)
• Drainage management (diversion waterways,
conservation pond, culverts)
• Gully and landslide head/slope stabilization
• Protection of the area from livestock
