Assessing vulnerability to soil erosion based on fuzzy best worse multi-criteria decision-making method

Abstract Soil wearing away or erosion is a chief agent of land loss in agricultural and regarded worldwide as serious environmental hazard. This study performed watershed prioritization using morphometric parameters based on fuzzy best worse method (F-BWM) GIS integration for Gusru Watershed, India. prioritizes sub-watersheds the area from viewpoint soil five major i.e., stream frequency ( F s ), relative relief R r length overland flow L o ratio h ) drainage density D d ). Fuzzy Best Worse Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Method was used to assigning weights criteria combining them achieve susceptibility each sub-watershed. Results showed that 9, 14, 5 were most susceptible sub-watershed 3 least ranking.
