Application of Geographical Information Systems for the assessment of soil erosion using Universal Soil Loss Equation – A research report by the National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 21 Jun, 2010 05:12 PMThe study estimates the average soil loss using the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tool of Integrated Land and Water Information Systems (ILWIS) and the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) methodology for the Hire nadi catchment, in Yelbarga taluk, Koppal district of Karnataka, under different conditions.
Scientific planning for soil conservation and water management requires knowledge of the relations among factors that cause and prevent soil and water loss. Controlled studies on field plots and small watersheds have supplied vital information regarding these complex factors and their interrelations.
