The causes of and a prediction of slump displacement along the section between the straightened Karamyshev and Khoroshev sections of the Moscow River are examined. It is shown that the cause of the slump slide in 2006 was the above-norm settlement and erosion due to rainwater drainage in the lower part of the slope. The slump continues to move and predicted displacements will attain significant values, which may result in the formation of a new slump.
