Lahar of the Agung - Volcano as Secondary Destruktive Element
The shape of the Agung-volcano - as a "rain-catcher" itself - showed how regularly the rains were pouring down in the surroundings of its summit depending upon the wind direction. Initially the wind was blowing from the East, then it gradually changed into a mix-direction before it kept its steady direction from the West. Owing to the topography of the volcano the first lahars set into motion by the first heavy rains descended only along the SW-slopes reaching its maximum stage in February 5, 1964. A huge mass came down through the Tlagawadja-river dragging the heavy hanging-bridge of the Unda-river at Klungkung, situated about 20 kilometres away from the summit, for a distance of more than 2 kilometres.
