This paper presents the results of the study carried out in two areas of the Danube - Black Sea canal, concerning the slope instability of the right bank. The information achieved during the site works, as the inclinometric, geoelectrical and topographical measurements offer a better knowledge and understanding of the factors responsible for the landslide. Groundwater flow has also been taken into account, as it has a major influence on the landslide phenomena. Two landslide areas along the canal have been delineated and characterized. Numerical modelling in both areas provided the main groundwater flow directions, towards the canal, favouring the occurrence of landslides. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
