Water erosion is one of the main causes soil degradation around world. In M orocco, watersheds have very significant wastes, related to various physical and anthropic factors. The Oued Inaouene watershed concerned because its location in eastern part Saïss basin, between Middle Atlas Pre-Rif, where water more accentuated. This basin covers a total area 3597.13 Km 2 it marked by semi-arid climat...

Gully erosion is a major environmental problem, posing significant threats to sustainable development. However, insights on techniques prevent and control gullying are scattered incomplete, especially regarding failure rates effectiveness. This review aims address these issues contribute more successful gully prevention strategies by synthesizing the data from earlier studies. Preventing format...

Between 1830 and 1950 much of northeastern Puerto Rico was cleared for agriculture. Runoff increased by 50% and sediment supply to the river channels increased by more than an order of magnitude. Much of the land clearance extended to steep valley slopes, resulting in widespread gullying and landslides and a large load of coarse sediments delivered to the stream channels. A shift from agricultu...

Morphologic analysis of scarp degradation can be used quantitatively to determine relative ages of different scarps formed in cohesionless materials, under the same climatic conditions. Scarps of tectonic origin as well as wavecut or rivercut terraces can be treated as topographic impulses that are attenuated by surface erosional processes. This morphological evolution can be modelled as the CQ...

In the Himalayas, the consequences of climate change are a fairly debated issue, mainly questioning the availability of water resources to the lowland population. North of the monsoon Himalayas, a semi-arid, continental climate prevails and settlements rely economically mostly on irrigated crops, high altitude rangelands, trade and tourism. The upper Kali Gandaki (Mustang) is situated in this a...

The Rarh plain in the Lower Ganga Basin India, best known for its lateritic landscape and gullied tracts, faces grave problems brought about by all types of soil erosion, which gully erosion is most conspicuous. present study uses data collected through field measurements at 110 heads ten sites plain, to first assess applicability various methods used construct critical topographic threshold li...
