1. The water should be diverted in such a way, as to avoid triggering a landslide adjacent to the site.
2. Surface water should not be allowed to flow on the landslide prone slope.
3. Draining ground water stream away from the landslides.
4. Minimizing irrigation on the surface of the soil.
5. Avoid digging trenches or wells on the slope.
6. Avoid the construction of buildings at the top or the base of a slope.
7. In landslide prone zones, warning indicators of landslide should be marked on both sides of the roads.
8. Promote plantation and forestation in landslide prone zones.
