Agricultural hillslopes with susceptible loess enters a large amount of runoff and sediment into the Gorgan city annually, due to the inappropriate drainage system which cause a lot of financial losses city. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different vegetation scenarios on the runoff and sediment discharge from three hillslopes of catchment of ​​5.9 hectares. The r...

In this research, to locate and prioritize suitable areas for flood spreading in Mashhad plain, 10 criteria were used including land use, slope, alluvium thickness, distance to well, distance to subterranean, distance from the village, water table drawdown, permeability coefficient, electrical conductivity, and drainage density. Weighting process was done by Analytic Network Process (ANP) and f...

According to the National Park Bamoo protection, land use in and around the park area that have direct and indirect effects and impacts on the park. It is necessary to examine changes in the use and management plan appropriate to the region.

Introduction: Climate change and human activities have a direct impact on land vegetation. Decreased rainfall and increased temperature are among the climate change factors leading to significant changes in water resources and energy balance in affected areas. On the other hand, human activities such as growing population, overgrazing and land use changes that make change in land conditions, al...

Prioritization of sub-watersheds is very important and necessary in order to implement soil and water conservation practices. This study has prioritized 13 sub-watersheds based on morphometric and land use characteristics using RS and GIS techniques in Haraz watershed to identify erosion-prone sub-watersheds. Morphometric characteristics including bifurcation ratio, drainage density, stream fre...
