A Catchment-Scale Model of Road Erosion and Sediment Delivery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unsealed roads and tracks are potentially significant sources of diffuse pollutants, particularly sediment. Identifying critical diffuse pollutant sources and their transport potential can greatly improve catchment-scale water quality management. This study describes the application and ongoing development of a road erosion and sediment transport model in the Moruya-Deua and Tuross River catchments of southeast Australia.

Estimating sediment yield from a paved forest road (Asphalt) (Case study: Watershed Leyle, Ravansar)
Extended abstract 1- Introduction Forest roads are among the largest sediment transport sources to drainage network. So, estimating the sediments of the road network is an important factor in the evaluation of the impact of the road construction. One of the biggest problems caused by the road construction in the forest is the increase in various forms of erosion, such as Gully erosion and mas...

Extended abstract Koohbord dam watershed with a total area of 38.29 square kilometers in Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad province is one of the watersheds without sedimentation data, which requires the use of empirical models to estimate the sediment for estimating sediment, so the results obtained through data is the basis of the management plans of dam watershed. In this research, using base maps ...

Multicipality inputs of different analysis of digital data in modern methods of map processing causes the changes in results of erosion and sediment models. In this context, selecting a cartographic scale as the major input of spatial data has become a challenge issue in erosion and sediment modeling. Therefore, in this study, using topographic maps and selecting to spatial scales (1:25000 and ...

Sediment sources fingerprinting is needed as an autonomous tool for erosion prediction, validation of soil erosion models, monitoring of sediment budget and consequently for selecting soil conservation practices and sediment control methods at the catchment scale. Apportioning of eroded-soil into multiple sources using natural tracers is an integrated approach in soil erosion and sediment studi...
