Summary

The soil character and geographical properties causes landslides and the ground to collapse in typhoon and cloudburst seasons in Taiwan. This usually brings about property and pecuniary loss. The reservoir watershed of a dam is usually located in the steep mountain areas. Ground collapse and landslides will cause the topsoil to flow away. The collapsing of the upper reaches will push the silt up to the lower reaches. The collapsing will seriously affect the function of reservoirs. However, the factors are complicated and the amount of data is very large. The factors include geology, road distance, stream distance, fault distance, altitude, gradient, and slope. If an effective system to integrate related information for reservoir watershed is available, it can provide us with a good tool to administer project construction, prolong the water retaining duration, and ensure the sustainable use of water resources.

This study uses GIS, ER Studio, a database system, WebGIS and a windows environment to develop a "Landslide Management System for the Shihmen Reservoir Watershed". The collapse condition for the last few years will be discussed to analyze possible reasons for collapse and an appropriate strategy will be proposed. All collapse area factors, before and after construction photographs will be stored in the system. This can be a good monitoring tool for a collapse improvement project and land management. The special characters and developing condition for the collapse area can be understood. This can help us to achieve effective management for the Shihmen Reservoir watershed and provide a valuable tool for the Water Resource Agency Ministry.
