abstract

abstract this research was conducted in the pegah - sorkh sub-catchments area, a semi-arid region in sw iran, using geographic information systems (gis) and remote sensing (rs) to compare the erosion potential method (epm) and modified pacific southwest interagency committee (mpsiac) models in erosion-potential mapping and sediment yield assessment. the study area with approximately 4600 ha shows different type of lithological units and vegetation covers. data were collected from available sources were further processed with image processing and field observations. also all the factors needed for epm and mpsiac models were provided using common abilities of rs and gis. comparison of the epm and mpsiac results with field observation showed that although the results of the two erosion potential maps are very similar, but the results the mpsiac are reliable in identifying areas with very high erosion potential. keywords: remote sensing, erosion, khuzestan, epm, mpsiac.

Estimation of erosion and sediment yield of Ekbatan Dam drainage basin with EPM, using GIS

Soil conservation and control of erosion is a basic problem in all countries. The goal of this research is to estimate erosion and sediment yield in Ekbatan Dam drainage basin by Erosion Potential Method (EPM), using Geographic Information System (GIS). The basin is located in Hamedan Province, west of Iran, in a cold and semi- arid region, with an average annual rainfall of 334mm. The study ar...

Soil erosion and sediment mapping in Aidoghmoush watershed appling MPSIAC model and GIS and RS technologies

Soil erosion is one of the important and worldwide environmental and economic issues. High amount of sediments accumulations behind the different structures such as dams requires several attempts to minimize their potential risks. Therefore, some quantified data will be needed in order to recognize those critical areas which requires urgent conservation. Since conventional procedures are time c...
