Abstract
Pore-water pressure fluctuations and water that reaches the ground surface (MR) were monitored in a reactivated landslide which is located in a heavy snow district of Japan. Observations of pore-water pressure inside the moving landslide mass revealed that changes in pore-water pressure during snow cover periods were quite different from those in other periods. These results suggest that the hydrological properties of a moving landslide mass are strongly affected by snow load.
