Slump on hill slope in Singapore (Before and after soil management)


Photograph of a slump near the top of a hill slope along Bartley Road, Singapore, on 12 November 2011.

The slope has been covered with a large sheet to prevent further soil erosion since then. The large sheet also helps to prevent a possible landslide, especially during heavy rains.

The photograph below of the covered slope (shown on the left) was taken on 17 June 2012.


Update (December 2012 - about one year after the first photograph was taken)

The hill slope has been restored as new grass has been replanted to hold the soil firmly. The photograph below shows the result of good soil management.
