surface. the development of gullies causes the loss of a great amount of soil and could be considered as one of the principal causes of geo-environmental degradation. in this research fazi model introduced for gully erosion zonation in arid and semiarid area considered to calibration and validation in kahkiloeh and boyerahmad province. therefore, the abgandi watershed were selected by considera...

Identifying suitable models for estimating soil erosion is one of the most importantissues facing decision makers and managers in comprehensive planning and management ofsoil and water. In this research, with the purpose of estimating soil erosion in LorestanProvince, the conventional SLEMSA method was jointly used with OWA (orderedweighted avera...

Erosion on military lands limits Army training activities, and may cause environmental problems both at training sites and downstream. Thus, remedial soil and land conservation plans are vitally important to stabilize erosion and use the land more safely for Army activities while complying with environmental regulations and standards. The channel-hillslope integrated landscape development (CHIL...

Material damage caused by the attack of particles entrained in a fluid system impacting a surface at high speed is called ‘Erosion’. Erosion is a phenomenon that takes place in several engineering applications. It also can be used in several manufacturing process such as abrasive waterjet machining. Erosion is a complex process dependent on particle speed, size, angle of attack as well as the b...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The study explored the capability of the geographic information system interface for the water erosion prediction project, a process-based model, to predict and visualize the specific location of soil erosion and sediment yield from the agricultural watershed of Taganibong. METHODS: The method involved the preparation of the fou...

one of the most valid and efficient models of long rod projectile penetration in homogeneous targets is tate and alekseevskii’s (a&t;) model. based on tate’s model, the present research tries to calculate the optimum speeds to achieve the maximum penetration depth in the homogeneous targets. the proposed collision speed-penetration depth diagrams are developed using tate’s model. in this way, v...

there are many reports of serious problems of dust storm events in the western parts of iran. based on many researches, iraq is one of the main sources of dust storms in western parts of iran. the radial basis function network (rbfn) model has been used to assess wind erosion hazard in iraq as a main source area of dust storms over several western cities of iran. the percentage of vegetation is...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of rapidly changing land use on erosion and sedimentation in a mixed land use watershed in the Ozark Highlands of the USA. The research combines a geographic information system-based soil erosion modeling approach with land use change detection to quantify the influence of changing land use on erosion risk. Five land use/land cover maps wer...
