The waterdiscontinuity- clay trinity plays a significant role in the formation of these landslides and morphology of the area. A large-scale dam and a highway were planned in this valley where is highly rich in terms of flora and fauna and composed by huge slopes. This study showed that the water in the area is meteoric and one of the main cause of landslides. Any big project can cause many geotechnical problems with remedial works. Because, the safety coefficient of huge landslides is 1 which means their stability is critical and any operation will disrupt this balance. Because of this and/or similar geotechnical problems; the projects were canceled. Besides, water is potable and suitable for irrigation and the valley stands as national wealth.
