The 13 July 2003 Qianjiangping Landslide in Zi-Gui Shaxisha Town caused serious disasters: in addition to the death of 10 local people, 14 were missing and more were wounded, together with heavy economic losses. By using men-PCinterpretation of air image taken on March 28, 2003, just before the water storage of the Three Gorge Reservoir to the elevation of 135m, combined with site verification, the authors obtained the data on elements, sizes and geological environments of new and old Qianjiangping landslides. It is held that the 13 July 2003 Qianjiangping Landslide is the revival of most old Qianjiangping landslides, and that the 13 July 2003 Qianjiangping Landslide has now on the whole become stable but the adjustment activity of various parts is still going on. The eastern old sliding body has suffered strong shearing stress, which will cause continuous dragging, slipping and collapsing in near future.
