The purpose of this study was to quantify the landslide risk of reservoir watershed in Taiwan. Analysis of the estimative parameters are as follows: watershed area (A), average slope (S), average relief (R), annual rainfall (P), maximum one-day rainfall (M), ratio of forests (F), ratio of landslide area (DL), and geologic index of sediment yield (SGI). As the result of calculation, which used the step-wise regression analysis by means of the LOTUS 1 2 3 and STATGRAPHICS packages, the regression equation is: Log (Y) 2.76 + 1.485 Log(R) +3.831 Log (M) -9.405 Log(F). The effect of sediment yield (Y) could be arranged as M>F>R. The application of the result will be to offer the prediction of landslide risk in different return periods of reservoir watersheds and use the parameters are also discussed.
