At 3760 m, Agua volcano towers more than 3500 m above the Pacific coastal plain to the south and 2000 m above the Guatemalan highlands to the north (figure 1). The volcano is within 5 to 10 kilometers (km) of Antigua, Guatemala and several other generous towns situated on its northern apron. These towns have a combined population of nearly 100,000. It is in about 20 km of Escuintla (population, ca .100,000) to the south. Though the volcano have not been moving in historical time [1] ((numerals within brackets refer to end log in the report), or in the region of the last 500 years, it have the potential to produce debris flows (watery flows of mud, rock, and ruins -- also known as lahars when they go on on a volcano) that could inundate these nearby populated areas. In tardy October and early November 1998, torrential rain of Hurricane Mitch caused numerous slope failure in Central America, the most catastrophic of which occur at Casita volcano, Nicaragua on October 30, 1998. At Casita, five days of heavy rainfall triggered a 1.6-million-cubic-meter rock and debris avalanche that generate a 2-to 4-million-cubic-meter debris flow that swept down the steep slopes of the volcano, spread out across the volcano's apron, destroyed two towns, and kill more than 2500 people [2]. The avalanche did not barrier the upper drainages or impound water. Rather, it appears that the Casita wreckage flow evolved directly as the avalanche moved down slope [2]. Agua.
