The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model is a physically-based soil erosion tool developed to predict runoff and erosion. Databases for forest soil, vegetation, and climate conditions have been developed. Background sediment may be generated annually from undisturbed forests, and occasionally following wildfire. In some cases, it may be appropriate to include sediment from essential fo...

the problems of land degradation and soil loss are among the major problems of watersheds in iran. for erosion andsediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. for doing this, land unit map and the map of effectivefactors should be prepared. for erosion and sediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. however,these empirical methods are usually time co...

in this study, the process-based watershed model, soil and water assessment tool (swat), was used for simulating hydrology and sediment transport in the gharesou watershed and for identifying critical areas of soil erosion and water pollution. after model calibration and uncertainty analysis using sufi-2 (sequential uncertainty fitting, ver. 2) method, the outputs of the calibrated model were u...

Century-long studies on the impacts of forest management in North America suggest sediment can cause major reduction on stream water quality. Soil erosion patterns in forest watersheds are patchy and heterogeneous. Therefore, patterns of soil erosion are difficult to model and predict. The objective of this study is to develop a user-friendly management tool for land managers to design forest m...
