Integrated Remote Sensing and GIS Applications for Sustainable Watershed Management: A Case Study from Cyprus

Application of USLE Model & GIS in Estimation of Soil Erosion for Tandula Reservoir

Assessment of soil erosion is expensive and intensively long exercise. A number of parametric models have been developed to forecast soil erosion at drainage basins, yet Universal Soil Loss Equation, popularly known as USLE model is most widely used empirical formula for estimating annual soil loss from agricultural basins. With the advance of Remote Sensing technique it becomes possible to mea...

Estimation of Soil Erosion using Remote Sensing and GIS and Prioritization of Catchments

Soil erosion is one of the most critical environmental hazards of recent times. A large area suffers from soil erosion, which in turn, reduces productivity. Methods such as the Universal Soil Loss Equation or Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation are widely used for the estimation of soil erosion from catchment areas. The paper deals with the estimation of soil erosion using Universal Soil Loss ...

Assessing the vulnerability to soil erosion of the Ukai Dam catchments using remote sensing and GIS

The investigation of basins for planning soil conservation requires a selective approach to identify smaller hydrological units, which would be suitable for more efficient and targeted conservation management programmes. One criterion, generally used to determine the vulnerability of catchments to erosion, is the sediment yield of a basin. In India, sediment yield data are generally not collect...
