The soil erosion is the most serious environmental problem in watershed areas in Turkey. The main factors affecting the amount of soil erosion include vegetation cover, topography, soil, and climate. In order to describe the areas with high soil erosion risks and to develop adequate erosion prevention measures in the watersheds of dams, erosion risk maps should be generated considering these fa...

Soil conservation (SC) is essential to maintain the reservoir service life and increase yield since soil erosion a major global concern that adversely affects not only storage capacity but also land fertility. This study evaluates spatio-temporal variation of using popular SWAT model identifies best SC practice for Tekeze watershed located in Northern part Ethiopia. To accomplish this, four man...
