چکیده

soil conservation and control of erosion is a basic problem in all countries. the goal of this research is to estimate erosion and sediment yield in ekbatan dam drainage basin by erosion potential method (epm), using geographic information system (gis). the basin is located in hamedan province, west of iran, in a cold and semi- arid region, with an average annual rainfall of 334mm. the study area is about 218 km2 and is divided into 8 sub- basins. sub- basins 1 and 6 are the largest (49.14 km2), and smallest (9.92km2), respectively. elevation ranges between 1960 to 3580 m. the litho-units include schist, granite, hornfels, limestone, sandstone, (pre- jurassic to neogene in age), conglomerate, and recent alluvium. most sediment in the basin is generated from erosion of schist. the main factors in the epm (slope average percent, erosion, rock and soil erosion and land- use) were evaluated using gis software. data layers used in this study were created from topographic, homorain, homotemp, geology, lithology maps, landsat tm digital images, and field observations. according to calculated results, the coefficient of erosion and sediment yield (z) for this basin fall into moderate and heavy erosion classes. for avoiding soil erosion in this basin, therefore, soil conservation operations should be performed.

Estimation of soil erosion and sediment yield using GIS

A Geographical Information System (GIS) based method is proposed and demonstrated for the identification of sediment source areas and the prediction of storm sediment yield from catchments. Data from the Nagwa and Karso catchments in Bihar (India) have been used. The Integrated Land and Water Information System (ILWIS) GIS package has been used for carrying out geographic analyses. An Earth Res...

Sediment yield estimation using GIS

A method has been developed in the present study for the determination of the sediment yield from a catchment using a GIS. The method involves spatial disaggregation of the catchment into cells having uniform soil erosion characteristics. The surface erosion from each of the discretized cells is routed to the catchment outlet using the concept of sediment delivery ratio, which is defined as a f...

Estimating of erosion and sediment yield of Gorganrud basin using erosin potential method

Soil erosion can be considered as one of the most important obstacles in the way of sustainable development of agriculture and natural resources. The aim of this study is to estimate erosion and sediment yield of basin using Erosion Potential Method, in Gorganrud basin, north of Iran. The main factors in the EPM (slope average percent, erosion, rock and soil resistance, and land-use) were evalu...

Conversion trends of rangelands to dry farming and its effects on erosion and sediment yield in Kardeh drainage basin

Converting rangelands to arable land such as dry farming is widely practiced in many places in Iran. This activity could possibly contribute to the increase in downstream sedimentation. The effects of this activity on downstream watersheds are not well documented for many strategic areas in the country. One such area which is proposed for this study is the Kardeh drainage basin, located in the ...
