Soil erosion and sediment transport have significant consequences, including decreased agricultural production, water quality degradation, modification to stream channels. Understanding these processes their interactions with contributing factors is crucial for assessing the environmental impacts of erosion. The primary objective this review identify a suitable soil model catchment-scale applic...

The water erosion prediction project (WEPP) model is a physically-based hydrology and erosion model. In recent years, the hydrology prediction within the model has been improved for forest watershed modeling by incorporating shallow lateral flow into watershed runoff prediction. This has greatly improved WEPP’s hydrologic performance on small watersheds with seasonal flows, but the current vers...

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. ...

Wind erosion from agricultural fields contributes to poor air quality within the Columbia Plateau of the United States. Erosion from fields managed in a conventional winter wheat– summer fallow rotation was monitored during the fallow period near Washtucna, WA, in 2003 and 2004. Loss of soil and PM10 (particulates ≤10 μm in diameter) was measured during six high wind events (sustained wind spee...
