Synergistic effect of rainfall and pipe leakage erosion on the formation and development of loess caves in Weinan city, Loess Plateau, Northwest China
Rapid urban expansion and climate change often bring about loess cave disasters on the Chinese Loess Plateau. It is believed that human activity and rainfall can synergistically alter the hydrogeological condi...
