“…The scientific community is well aware that the intensity of flood events, and their potential effects on people, valuables and goods, are directly affected by land use changes in general and increases in the areas of sealed surfaces in particular [24]. Landslides, floods and mass movement disasters are common phenomena in the Seti watershed, associated with extreme weather events and high precipitation, especially during the summer monsoon period, resulting in excessive river discharge.…”

“…One element of the argument made by Red members against real estate development in the foothills concerns vulnerability and the potential for natural disasters such as landslides or flooding (Ebert et al 2010).
