Soil erosion, sediment yield and sedimentation of reservoir: a review

Estimation of soil erosion and sediment yield using GIS

A Geographical Information System (GIS) based method is proposed and demonstrated for the identification of sediment source areas and the prediction of storm sediment yield from catchments. Data from the Nagwa and Karso catchments in Bihar (India) have been used. The Integrated Land and Water Information System (ILWIS) GIS package has been used for carrying out geographic analyses. An Earth Res...

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...

Application of GIS and Statistical Multivariate Techniques for Estimation of Soil Erosion and Sediment Yield

In recent years, most of the regions in the world are exposed to degradation and erosion caused by increasing population and over use of land resources. The understanding of the most important factors on soil erosion and sediment yield are the main keys for decision making and planning. In this study, the sediment yield and soil erosion were estimated and the priority of different soil erosion ...

SATEEC GIS System for Spatiotemporal Analysis of Soil Erosion and Sediment Yield

Simulation of Water Soil Erosion Effects on Sediment Delivery to Dobczyce Reservoir

Synoptic information on suspended matter inflow into reservoirs is important because of the potential storage capacity reduction and water contamination. Such prognosis is difficult to obtain only from in situ measurement. This can be solved by modeling water soil erosion effect using Digital Elevation Model, climate data, soil type parameters and land-use/land-cover data obtained from remote s...
