Abstract
Landslide is one of the natural disasters that gained attention worldwide these days. The effects are not only limited to changes in topography but also cause fatality. Rainfall and groundwater are among the factors that contribute to landslide occurrence. This study focused on finding the possibility of groundwater increment after prolong rainfall events that might lead to landslide occurrence. Thus, slopes that have a landslide history located at three different locations were selected for rainfall and groundwater monitoring. After a year of observation, the longest time of prolonged rainfall was selected for further analysis. The study found that prolonged rainfall does not cause an increment to the groundwater level. � 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
