Modeling Sediment Yield in Semi‐Arid Pasture Micro‐Catchments, NW Iran

Sediment Yield From Small Semiarid Watersheds

Small watershed sediment yield data were evaluated for eight small watersheds ranging from 35.2 to 159.5 ha within the United States Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Research Service Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (WGEW) in southeastern Arizona, USA. Stock pond sediment accumulation measurements covering time periods from 30 to 47 years were combined with water level records and es...

Measured Sediment Yield Rates From Semiarid Rangeland Watersheds

Data describing long-term sediment yield rates on semiarid rangeland watersheds are relatively rare. To augment existing data and gain a better understanding of the controlling variables, sediment yields from 8 subwatersheds within the US Department of Agriculture–Agricultural Research Service Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed in southeastern Arizona were computed from stock pond sediment acc...

Using Sediment Deposited in Small Reservoirs to Quantify Sediment Yield in Two Small Catchments of Iran

Geographic 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...
