Water erosion prediction using Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation and GIS: A case study of Gorganrud Basin
Soil erosion and sedimentation processes can be considered as serious eco-environmentalproblems. This study aimed to estimate the basin-wide erosion using the Revised UniversalSoil Loss Equation (RUSLE). The soil erosion parameters included rainfall erosivity mapgenerated from the rainfall data, soil erodibility extracted from the soil map, land cover andmanagement map produced from supervised ...
متن کاملA nonparametric/parametric analysis of the Universal Soil Loss Equation
Due to its modest data demands and transparent model structure, the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) remains the most popular tool for water erosion hazard assessment. However, the model has several shortcomings, two of which are likely to have prominent implications for the model results. First, the mathematical form of the USLE, the multiplication of six factors, easily leads to large erro...
متن کاملEmpirical models based on the universal soil loss equation fail to predict sediment discharges from Chesapeake Bay catchments.
The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and its derivatives are widely used for identifying watersheds with a high potential for degrading stream water quality. We compared sediment yields estimated from regional application of the USLE, the automated revised RUSLE2, and five sediment delivery ratio algorithms to measured annual average sediment delivery in 78 catchments of the Chesapeake Bay w...

متن کاملEvaluation of soil losses and sediment yield using modified PSIAC model
ABSTRACT- One of the big problems today human societies are faced with is the problem of soil erosion. In this study, the "MPSIAC model" was used to estimate sediment yield and provide sediment yield map in Cachoyeh watershed. The MPSIAC method incorporates nine environmental factors that contribute to sediment yield of the watershed. These factors are: surface geology, soil, climate, runoff, t...
