Project completed to control effects of landslides

A 175 million yuan ($28.2 million) project to prevent landslides in the Lengmu Valley has been completed, replacing patrollers armed with alarms with a series of debris dams.

Landslides have been frequent occurrences in the valley, where the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes created fissures in the earth.

Liu Wanshu, geological disaster monitor for Muping, a town in Baoxing county, said she could finally have a good sleep now that the debris flow emergency management project has been installed.
