Mudflow in Stehekin, Washington

On the shores of Lake Chelan in a remote area of the state of Washington sits the city of Stehekin, a small town of 150 which is effectively only accessible by boat or floatplane. The town sits in an area mostly managed by the federal government, within the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area and just south of North Cascades National Park. Since the area is managed by the park service, we can share some of their impressive photos taken following a mudslide in this area. This photo shows what used to be a road.

A combination of large wildfires and large rainfalls triggered this particular slide. The mud poured through the town, carrying boulders and trees with it, eventually dumping out into Lake Chelan which sits at the bottom of the valley. Although several businesses were damaged, no one was injured in this slide.

MUSIBAH longsor yang terjadi di Kampung Pasir Kuning, Desa Pasirlangu, Kecamatan Cisarua, Kabupaten Bandung Barat (KBB) pada Sabtu (24/1) di

MUSIBAH longsor yang terjadi di Kampung Pasir Kuning, Desa Pasirlangu, Kecamatan Cisarua, Kabupaten Bandung Barat (KBB) pada Sabtu (24/1) dini hari tidak dapat hanya dipahami sebagai dampak alih fungsi lahan.

Kejadian tersebut merupakan hasil dari interaksi faktor alamiah yang kompleks dengan berbagai faktor manusia, menghasilkan mekanisme aliran lumpur (mudflow) yang dipicu oleh kejadian longsoran di bagian hulu sistem alirannya.

Wilayah KBB termasuk dalam lingkungan geologi yang berada pada produk-produk vulkanik tua, yang secara alamiah memiliki lapisan pelapukan yang relatif tebal. Batas antara tanah hasil pelapukan dan batuan dasar yang relatif lebih kedap air, kerap menjadi bidang gelincirnya.

Kondisi itu semakin diperlemah oleh hujan dalam durasi panjang, yang menyebabkan air meresap dan mengisi pori-pori tanah hingga jenuh. Ketika pori-pori tanah sudah jenuh oleh air, kekuatan geser material pembentuk lereng akan menurun drastis. Pada kondisi inilah lereng sering tidak lagi mampu menahan beratnya sendiri.
