Assessment of Soil Erosion Susceptibility in Kothagiri Taluk Using Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and Geo-Spatial Technology
Soil erosion is a serious environmental problem in Kothagiri Taluk. Many studies have been carried out to map shifting cultivation and areas susceptible to soil erosion. Mostly, estimated soil loss is taken as the basis to classify the level of soil loss susceptibility of area. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) function is a commonly used erosion model for this purpose in Kothagi...
متن کاملWater erosion prediction using Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation and GIS: A case study of Gorganrud Basin
Soil erosion and sedimentation processes can be considered as serious eco-environmentalproblems. This study aimed to estimate the basin-wide erosion using the Revised UniversalSoil Loss Equation (RUSLE). The soil erosion parameters included rainfall erosivity mapgenerated from the rainfall data, soil erodibility extracted from the soil map, land cover andmanagement map produced from supervised ...
متن کاملPredicting soil erosion in conservation tillage cotton production systems using the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE)
Despite being one of the most pro®table crops for the southeastern USA, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is considered to create a greater soil erosion hazard than other annual crops such as corn (Zea mays L.) and soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Reduced tillage systems and cover cropping can reduce soil erosion and leaching of nutrients into ground water. The objectives of this study, which wa...
متن کاملGeographic information system and process-based modeling of soil erosion and sediment yield in agricultural watershed
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The study explored the capability of the geographic information system interface for the water erosion prediction project, a process-based model, to predict and visualize the specific location of soil erosion and sediment yield from the agricultural watershed of Taganibong. METHODS: The method involved the preparation of the fou...
متن کاملEstimation of Soil Erosion in Sefidrood Watershed by Emphasis on the Role of Landforms
Among the various processes that destroy lands, soil erosion is a complex and hazardous environmental process that constitutes a serious threat to preservation of soil and water resources in Iran and has inflicted its negative effects on the vital ecosystem with the intensified utilization of nature by human beings. The present descriptive and analytic research employed the PSIAC model to study...
