Avoiding aspects in the farmstead selection/ Precautions:
- Farmstead should not be constructed in unstable soil as landslide may cause severe damage.
- It shouldn’t be constructed in prone, accidental areas like river banks (flooding). It should not be constructed in the waterlogged areas.
- It should not be constructed in filled area, as filled area has low load bearing capacity so building may be collapsed.
