The Universal Soil Loss Equation is a powerful tool. It is in use by soil conservationists from last three decades for on-farm planning of soil conservation practices, inventorying and assessing the regional and national impacts of soil erosion and developing as well as implementing public policy related to soil conservation. Over the last several years, a co-operative effort between scientists [...]
The Universal Soil Loss Equation was developed to predict the annual soil loss from field-size small areas. This equation does not compute the sediment yield from the watershed, directly. To compute the sediment yield by use of USLE, the computed soil loss using USLE is multiplied with the delivery ratio of watershed. Since, USLE predicts the annual soil loss, therefore, [...]
In this article we will discuss about universal soil loss equation used to estimate soil loss. The water erosion is a complex process. It involves inter-relationships between several factors. Few of them influence the potential of rainfall and runoff to detach and transport the soil particles from soil mass. And few are that, which affect the soil ability to resist [...]
