چکیده

the problems of land degradation and soil loss are among the major problems of watersheds in iran. for erosion andsediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. for doing this, land unit map and the map of effectivefactors should be prepared. for erosion and sediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. however,these empirical methods are usually time consuming and do not give accurate estimation of erosion. in this study, weapplied gis techniques to estimate erosion and sediment of menderjan watershed at upstream of zayandehrud river incentral part of iran. erosion features of each land unit were defined on the basis of land use, geology and land unit mapsusing gis. the utm coordinates of each erosion type with higher erosion intensities such as rills and gullies wereinserted in gis using gps data. the frequency of erosion indicators of each land unit, land use and sediment yield ofthese indices were calculated. also by using sediment yield changes in watershed outlet (hydrometric station), theeffective parameters in sediment production were identified. the results of this study can be used for more rapid and moreaccurate estimation of erosion than traditional methods. these results can also be used for regional erosion assessment andcan be applied by using remotely- sensed data.

Investigation of Some Methodologies in Providing Erosion Maps of Surface, Rill and Gully and Erosion Features

Some methodologies were compared in providing erosion maps of surface, rill and gully and erosion features, in research which took place in the Varamin sub-basin, north-east Tehran, Iran. A photomorphic unit map was produced from processed satellite images, and four other maps were prepared by the integration of different data layers, including slope, plant cover, geology, land use, rocks erodi...

Application of GIS and Statistical Multivariate Techniques for Estimation of Soil Erosion and Sediment Yield

In recent years, most of the regions in the world are exposed to degradation and erosion caused by increasing population and over use of land resources. The understanding of the most important factors on soil erosion and sediment yield are the main keys for decision making and planning. In this study, the sediment yield and soil erosion were estimated and the priority of different soil erosion ...

Selectivity of Particles through Rill Erosion in Different Soil Textures

Sediment selectivity during transport may provide basic information for evaluating on-site and off-site impacts of the soil erosion. Limited information is, however, available on the selectivity of sediments in rill erosion, particularly in the rainfed furrows. Toward this, the sediment selectivity was investigated in three soil textures (loam, loamy sand sand clay loam) under 10% slope using 9...
