The main purpose of this study was to assess<br />various aspects of the prevalent practice of landslide treatment followed by the Department<br />of Soil Conservation and Watershed Management, Government of Nepal. Questionnaire<br />survey and case study methods were used to collect the necessary information. It appears<br />that the landslide treatment has been successful in stabilizing the major portion of the<br />treated landslides. However, landuse improvement above the treated landslides, and<br />drainage management inside and around the treated landslide sites were found to be<br />inadequate. Also, the maintenance of constructed structures and vegetation was not<br />satisfactory. The findings and recommendations of this paper will be useful in improving<br />the landslide treatment in Nepal.<br /><br /><strong>Keywords: </strong>Drainage management; landslide treatment; landuse improvement; people’s<br />participation<br /><br />DOI: 10.3126/banko.v20i1.3502<br /><br /><em>Banko Janakari</em>, Vol. 20, No. 1 pp.3-8}, number={1}, journal={Banko Janakari}, author={Mathema, P and Joshi, J}, year={2010}, month={Aug.}, pages={3–8} }
