the present study was carried out to determine the possible origins of sediments entering taleghan dam in northern part of iran, in order to avoid further sedimentation and helping in extension of the useful life of the proposed dam. this was performed by xrd analysis. to do so, first of all, sediment sampling points were positioned along the taleghan river. the collected samples, after coding,...

Soil loss expectation and possible relationships among soil erosion, riparian vegetation and water quality were studied in the São José dos Dourados River basin, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Through Geographic Information System (GIS) resources and technology, Soil Loss Expectation (SLE) data obtained using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model were analyzed. For the whole catchment area...

Bedrock erodibility exerts a fundamental control on fluvial incision, and therefore the evolution of entire landscapes. However, roles relative significance specific bedrock properties like rock strength discontinuity spacing in setting remain poorly understood. As result, is often overlooked or oversimplified numerical field-based investigations landscape processes, leading to misinterpretatio...

Understanding erosion and sedimentation processes along the drainage network, from hillslopes to rivers reservoirs, is essential for water resources management river restoration. This work proposes a novel dynamic evaluation of landscape factor modeled runoff rates physically-based distributed hydrological modelling, estimate event-scale sediment connectivity. Four precipitation events moderate...

Investigation of desertification trend requires an understanding of phenomena that create changes singly or action and reaction together in an area that these changes were led to the desertification and land degradation. In the investigation of pedological criterion affecting on land degradation in Alluvial Fans, first, the map of units was created by overlaying and crossing maps of slope class...
