The empirical soil loss model, RUSLE, was used in conjunction with remotely sensed data and geographic information system technology to delineate the erosion watershed priorities terms of conservation practices at seven boundary sub-watersheds (labeled as SW-00, SW-01, …, SW-06) between Iraq Iran district Ali Al-Gharbi, southern Iraq. six factors RUSLE i.e., rainfall erosivity, erodibility, slo...

Historical and recent remote sensing data can be used to address temporal and spatial relationships between upland land cover and downstream vegetation response at the watershed scale. This is demonstrated for sub-watersheds draining into Elkhorn Slough, California, where salt marsh habitat has diminished because of the formation of sediment fans that support woody riparian vegetation. Multiple...

one of the serious problems of iran’s watersheds is soil erosion and can be considered as one of the main obstacles to achieve sustainable agricultural development and natural resources. in most countries of the world, because of absence of accurate data for the sediment erosion, deposition utilizing models to estimate erosion is inevitable. in order to apply effective management in natural res...

Implementing agricultural water management programs over appropriate spatial extents can have positive effects on water access and erosion management. Lack of access to water for domestic and agricultural uses represents a major constraint on agricultural productivity and perpetuates poverty and hunger in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This lack of access is the result of erratic precipitation, poor...

Surface water samples of baseflow were collected from 20 headwater sub-watersheds which were classified into three types of watersheds (natural, urban and agricultural) in the flood, dry and transition seasons during three consecutive years (2010-2012) within a coastal watershed of Southeast China. Integrating spatial statistics with multivariate statistical techniques, river water quality vari...

One of the priority watersheds in Southeast Sulawesi is Poleang watershed. It necessary to assess management performance remain sustainable its implementation. This research aims determine poleang watershed based on indicators land conditions and recommendations for direction policies. The survey methods used analysis include criticality, cover erosion calculating carrying capacity. resulted fa...

Abstract The upper Benue River watershed is undergoing remarkable modifications due to man-made and natural phenomena. Hence, an evaluation required understand the hydrological process of for planning management strategies. This study aimed assess morphometric characteristics prioritize watershed. boundary sub-watersheds, as well stream networks, was extracted from digital elevation model (DEM)...

Watershed is regarded as a very complex system of natural, social, economic and ecological dimensions and like any similar systems, exploitation of its resources requires a comprehensive and coordinated planning and management. Given the importance of watershed management projects for the development and management of natural resources, the enhancement of the efficiency of these activities is e...
