چکیده

A method has been developed in the present study for the determination of the sediment yield from a catchment using a GIS. The method involves spatial disaggregation of the catchment into cells having uniform soil erosion characteristics. The surface erosion from each of the discretized cells is routed to the catchment outlet using the concept of sediment delivery ratio, which is defined as a function of the area of a cell covered by forest. The sediment yield of the catchment is defined as the sum of the sediments delivered by each of the cells. The spatial discretization of the catchment and the derivation of the physical parameters related to erosion in the cells are performed through a GIS technique using the Integrated Land and Water Information Systems (ILWIS) package. Estimation de l'exportation de sédiments par utilisation d'un SIG Résumé Dans cette étude une méthode d'estimation de l'exportation de sédiments d'un bassin utilisant un SIG a été développée. La méthode repose sur une dicrétisation du bassin en mailles dont les caractéristiques d'érosion du sol sont uniformes. L'érosion de surface de chacune de ces mailles est routée à l'exutoire du bassin en utilisant le concept de fraction sédimentaire exportée, définie comme fonction de la surface de maille recouverte par la forêt. L'exportation de sédiments du bassin est définie comme la somme des sédiments fournis par chacune des mailles. La discrétisation spatiale du bassin et la détermination des paramètres physiques relatifs à l'érosion dans les mailles sont réalisés grâce à une technologie fondée sur les SIG utilisant le logiciel ILWIS (Integrated Land and Water Information).
