ABSTRACT: High mountain ranges with perennial streams characterize the Eastern Anatolia. The northern pushing effect of the Arabian plate uplifts the region. Due to the high erosion rate barren topography dominates. Huge landslides take place where weak to extremely weak rocks are available. Outslope condition escalates the formation of immensely wide landslides. The proposed system: (1) stabilizes landslides and provides fertile farm land. (2) transfers the barren lands to irrigable gardens. (3) impedes flooding and (4) provides renewable energy.
