DETERMINATION OF SLOPE LENGTH AND STEEPNESS FACTOR (LS) FOR DURUJI RIVER BASIN

Based on the application of Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and modern GIS technology (ArcGis 10.2.2.), article presents a method for calculating erosion potential relief (LS) Duruji river basin (north-eastern part Georgia). The most erosion-hazardous areas have been identified, which is approximately 75.1% total area ​​the basin. It has established that special attention should be paid to detailed study identified erosional basin, taking into account all influencing factors soil successful design control measures.
