Abstract: | This study investigates the variations in the critical conditions for debris-flow occurrence before and after the Chi-Chi
earthquake in the Chen-Yu-Lan watershed, Taiwan. Topographical and rainfall parameters such as the gully gradient, drainage
area, rainfall intensity, cumulative rainfall, and rainfall duration in the Chen-Yu-Lan watershed were used to analyze the
conditions of debris-flow occurrence over the past 25 years. A recovery equation was proposed on the basis of rainfall parameters
and used to determine the variations in the critical line of rainfall that trigger debris flow after the earthquake and to
evaluate the recovery period required for the rainfall threshold of debris-flow occurrence after the earthquake to return
to that before the earthquake in the watershed. The critical line for the runoff parameter versus gully gradient in the watershed
was also presented. |
