Reconnaissance of landslides in Jalal-abad oblasty

Posted on by Aziz Soltobaev

The initial deployment of a LoRa-enabled network to monitor natural disasters such as landslides and mudflows holds considerable promise. In response to positive feedback and a request from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the ISOC team embarked on a journey to the southern region of Kyrgyzstan to assess potential pilot locations.

During the first weeks of December, the team visited two active landslides located in Jalal-Abad Oblasty of the republic. The first landslide is situated in Karamart (Kara-Mart), Suzak Rayon.

According to the Department of Monitoring of Natural Disasters under the Ministry of Emergency Situations, there is a high risk of landslide activation on the right bank of the river Kök-Art, in lateral valleys of Achy-Say, Karamart, and on the slopes between the Karamart, Urum-Bashy, and Kök-Art rivers.

The second location is a landslide near the village of Kichi-Ak-Jol in Suzak Rayon, along the strategic road connecting the region with the highway leading to Bishkek and Osh cities.

The reconnaissance was conducted using drones, topographic video, and photography. Initial contacts with local administration were established during this phase.

The gathered information will undergo thorough review and analysis, and a LoRa-enabled topology network will be proposed to effectively monitor and respond to these landslide-prone areas.

On November 2023 we had a privilege to participate in the Workshop on Communication in Extreme Environments for Science and Sustainable Development held in Trieste, Italy. The workshop had been organized by our partner organization Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP). The workshop brought together researchers and practitioners who shared insights and expertise on building sustainable communication networks, use of low power internet of things as well as learning advanced technologies and protocols for connecting unconnected. We have explored how 6G networks, new forms of sattelite connectivity, non-terrestrial networks and underground communications could help connect the unconnected. The Days of Delay Tolerant Network and Lora mesh Labs helped to gain practical skills and learn new tools to consider in the future communication projects.

We as Internet Society Kyrgyz Chapter shared our experience on using Internet of Things and LoRaWAN technologies for climate monitoring and early warning in mountainous areas. This 2-year project aimed to explore how LoRaWAN and Lora-enabled devices in conjuction with open source solutions could be utilized in extreme climate conditions, mountainous areas to monitor such natural disasters as mudflows, landslides, glacier lake outburst floods and help relevant decision makers to take mitigation actions.

Kyrgyz Republic has over 4000 lakes mostly caused by glaciers and located in altitude between 2500 and 4000 meters. Currently, there are about 5000 active landslides registered in the country. Over the last 30 years 593 landslide disaster events were recorded in Kyrgyzstan.
