What is Editorial for the Special Issue “Water-Induced Landslides: Prediction and Control” about?

The Special Issue "Water-Induced Landslides: Prediction and Control" [1] was planned with the main purpose of presenting advanced researches concerning the effects of water on slope stability. Indeed, water is a primary cause of landslides, playing a paramount role in the deformation processes leading the slopes to failure, and in the subsequent post-failure stage. It is well known that prolonged and intense rainfall may cause catastrophic and fast movement of rock and soil masses. In these circumstances, the drainage systems are widely used for the landslide control, because they are generally less expensive and more effective than other measures commonly designed for slope stabilization [2,3]. This Special Issue originally attracted twenty-seven papers, eighteen of which were accepted for publication in Water after a rigorous review process. Among these latter, six papers focused on the rainfall-induced landslides. Two papers dealt with rain infiltration into the slope. Particularly, Yeh and Tsai [4] analyzed the effects of the hydraulic conductivity anisotropy on slope stability using a coupled hydro-mechanical approach. Hsu and Liu [5] used the TRIGRS and DEBRIS-2D codes to pre
