Excerpt from Mechanics of Debris Avalanching in Shallow Till Soils of Southeast Alaska During high rainfall periods, the soil becomes saturated, and the seepage zone thickens with substantial increases in flow. The increasing volume of water, moving laterally through the soil as saturated flow, causes a rise in the piezometric surface, with two important consequences: (1) increasing shear stress along potential sliding surfaces caused by rising seepage pressures and increasing unit weight of the soil materials, and (2) decreasing shear resistance resulting from increased pore-water pressure in the soil.
