The European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM): a dynamic approach for predicting sediment transport from fields and small catchments

Modeling of Soil Erosion and Sediment Transport in the Blue Nile Basin using the Open Model Interface Approach Modeling of soil erosion and sediment transport in the Blue Nile Basin using the Open Model Interface Approach

Rapid land use change due to intensive agricultural practices in the Ethiopian Highlands, results in increasing rates of soil erosion. This manifested in significant impacts downstream by reducing the storage capacity of reservoirs (e.g., Roseires, Sennar), and high desilting costs of irrigation canals. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a better understanding of the process at basin scale. ...

Erosion of upland hillslope soil organic carbon: Coupling field measurements with a sediment transport model

[1] Little is known about the role of vegetated hillslope sediment transport in the soil C cycle and soil-atmosphere C exchange. We combined a hillslope sediment transport model with empirical soil C measurements to quantify the erosion and temporal storage of soil organic carbon (SOC) within two grasslands in central California. The sites have contrasting erosional mechanisms: biological pertu...

the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...

Application of the answers model for prediction of runoff and sediment from a small agricultural watershed of iran

Soil erosion and sediment mapping in Aidoghmoush watershed appling MPSIAC model and GIS and RS technologies

Soil erosion is one of the important and worldwide environmental and economic issues. High amount of sediments accumulations behind the different structures such as dams requires several attempts to minimize their potential risks. Therefore, some quantified data will be needed in order to recognize those critical areas which requires urgent conservation. Since conventional procedures are time c...
