This study aims to set up a comprehensive approach to the Vulnerability and Impact Assessment (VIA) of river erosion and to suggest Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) practices. Based on the analysis of vulnerability using the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework, this paper discusses some of the significant climatic (rainfall pattern, temperature, seasonal drift, cold wave and...

Recently a rainfall erosivity map has been published. We show that the values of this map contain considerable bias because (i) the temporal resolution of the rain data was insufficient, which likely underestimates rain erosivity by about 20%, (ii) no attempt had been included to account for the different time periods that were used for different countries, which can modify rain erosivity by mo...

Currently gravity irrigation remains the most widely used in agricultural areas and 90 percent of plantings, the water is applied to the plots by gravity. One of the main problems with these systems is erosion, which is a by product of the erosive forces of water over the row, which brings soil loss and therefore decreases in crop yield. Erosion is the removal of surface soil material caused by...

abstract in order to study the effect of super absorbent on runoff volume in slopes and various intensity of rainfall research was accomplish according to split – factorial blocks method with main treatment and two accessory treatments in three replicate . the main treatment consist of three dominant slopes (10 , 20 , 30 percent ) and accessory treatments consist of five levels of substance sup...

Soil erosion is a global issue that threatens food security and causes environmental degradation. Management of water erosion requires accurate estimates of the spatial and temporal variations in the erosive power of rainfall (erosivity). Rainfall erosivity can be estimated from rain gauge stations and satellites. However, the time series rainfall data that has a high temporal resolution are of...

The microtopography of the soil surface (mm to dm range) is a crucial factor in understanding and monitoring soil erosion. It influences the dissipation of rain-drop energy, determines the hydraulics of surface runoff, and it is changed by transport and sedimentation of soil particles. We used a high-resolution terrestrial laser scanner to assess erosion risks due to mechanized logging with cra...
