متن کاملAccuracy Assessment of Geo-Statistics and Artificial Neural Networks Methods to Estimate Threshold Wind Velocity: A Case of Jazinak Region, Sistan Plain
Extended abstract 1- Introduction Threshold wind velocity is a major influencing variable in transportation of soil particles and dust production. It is considered as an important component in many theoretical equations and numerical models due to its importance in wind erosion studies (Stout & Zobeck, 1996). The wind tunnel method (fixed and portable), empirical relationships and sediment tr...
متن کاملAnalysis of relations between water erosion features and effective parameters on their intensity and spatial patterns (Case study: Baleghli chay watershed, Ardebil, Iran)
Soil erosion results from an interaction of several parameters, which vary in space and time. Awareness ofenvironmental changes and their impact on the intensity and spatial pattern of water erosion can effectively help inrecognition of erosional reactions versus the affecting factors. The aim of this paper is to describe the development ofa methodology based on present knowledge and available ...
متن کاملEstimating of erosion and sediment yield of Gorganrud basin using erosin potential method
Soil erosion can be considered as one of the most important obstacles in the way of sustainable development of agriculture and natural resources. The aim of this study is to estimate erosion and sediment yield of basin using Erosion Potential Method, in Gorganrud basin, north of Iran. The main factors in the EPM (slope average percent, erosion, rock and soil resistance, and land-use) were evalu...
متن کاملComparing WEPP and Hydro Physical Models to Estimate Soil Erosion and Sediment Production: A Case Study of Chardavol Watershed
Extended abstract 1- Introduction Soil erosion and sediment production include fundamental limitations in the use of soil and water resources. The sediment yields watersheds in addition to the loss of soil fertility, causing water quality reduction. Therefore, evaluation processes that govern their behavior to better understand and assess the systems of watershed management practices are imp...
