USGS and NBRO Scientists in Sri Lanka
USGS scientists collaborate with Sri Lankan scientists from the National Building Research Organization (NBRO) on the installation of rainfall and soil moisture instrumentation on an active landslide in southwest Sri Lanka. The station provides real-time data including rainfall and soil moisture content of an active landslide.
