Erosion and Sediment Transport Modeling: A Systematic Review

Soil erosion and sediment transport have significant consequences, including decreased agricultural production, water quality degradation, modification to stream channels. Understanding these processes their interactions with contributing factors is crucial for assessing the environmental impacts of erosion. The primary objective this review identify a suitable soil model catchment-scale application. study considers various selection processes, capability spatial temporal domains spatiotemporal distributions. acknowledges limitations, uncertainties, unrealistic assumptions associated models. Models are usually developed particular objective, which demands an assessment capabilities, spatial, applicability, applicability. Distributed models often preferred applications, as they can adequately account variations in potential yield, aiding evaluation erosion-contributing elements planning control measures. Based on findings study, authors encourage utilizing (such Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) or Automated Geospatial Watershed (AGWA)) that forecast net function output catchment yield modeling. This helps researchers practitioners involved modeling by guiding appropriate type based specific purposes basin scale. By choosing models, accuracy effectiveness estimation measures be improved.
