Compilation of Web Based NLIIMS by GSI
The
work related to preparation of National Landslide Incidence Inventory
Map (NLIIM) formulated on Geographic Information System (GIS) platform
for providing online information related to incidences of landslides in
different parts of the country was initiated by Geological Survey of
India (GSI) in 2012-13. Landslide Hazard Information Management
Division, GSI, New Delhi does this work.
The database
is in the form of an attribute table based on the Landslide Inventory
sheet prepared and recommended for use in the field. This contains the
details of the landslides including location, length, width and height,
type of material, type of movement, failure mechanism, geomorphology,
triggering factor, geoscientific cause of slide etc.
The
database of landslide reporting is aimed to provide a template for
reporting landslide incidences in a standard format for ensuring
uniformity in reporting of essential parameters of landslides from the
field by the investigators. This will result into a national landslide
inventory integrated into state-of-the-art GIS platform compatible with
other map datasets available on GSI’s Portal i.e. www.portal.gsi.gov.in.
The map service will be in Web-GIS based interactive format available
in GSI portal, with various inputs related to landslides.
As per Geological Survey of India, the time of submission of final report of the programme is September, 2016.
This information was given by the Minister of Mines, Shri Dinsha Patel in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha.
