Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) for rangelands was successfully interfaced with geographic information systems (GIS). The procedure utilizes raster processing capabilities of the map analysis and processing system (MAPS) to overlay data themes containing spatially distributed values for differentRUSLE factors. Within the limitations in accuracy of the USLE style calculation, cell processing, and information contained in input data layers, the methodology produces a map of relative levels of soil erosion potential which reflects the effects of rainfall, soil type, terrain, vegetation, and erosion control practice on soil loss. Improvements in processing to obtain the terrain (LS) factor from digital elevation models (DEMs) permit quick calculation of soil loss potential for large areas. Since the resolution of the product is determined by the quality and availability of the data, the methodology could be applied differentially to various areas and data sets to produce maps of low, medium, and high resolution. The flexibility of the procedure permits modeling of various management alternatives by changing values for the appropriate factors to reflect changing conditions. Furthermore, the RUSLE/GIS interface can be interfaced with other GIS models. All of the preceding indicate that the RUSLE/GIS interface has potential for and could be adapted for soil degradation studies on a global scale. The following is a conceptual summary of the procedure and is meant to provide only a quick overview of the methodology.

Download or read book Predicting Rainfall Erosion Losses written by Walter H. Wischmeier and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) enables planners to predict the average rate of soil erosion for each feasible alternative combination of crop system and management practices in association with a specified soil type, rainfall pattern, and topography. When these predicted losses are compared with given soil loss tolerances, they provide specific guidelines for effecting erosion control within specified limits. The equation groups the numerous interrelated physical and management parameters that influence erosion rate under six major factors whose site-specific values can be expressed numerically. A half century of erosion research in many States has supplied information from which at least approximate values of the USLE factors can be obtained for specified farm fields or other small erosion prone areas throughout the United States. Tables and charts presented in this handbook make this information readily available for field use. Significant limitations in the available data are identified.

Download or read book Environmental Information Management And Analysis written by W K Michener and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1994-08-08 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most environmental studies are based upon data collected at fine spatial scales plots, sediments, cores, etc.. Furthermore, temporal scales of these studies have been relatively short days, weeks, months and few studies have exceeded three years duration the typical funding cycle.; Despite this history, environmental scientists are now being called upon to extrapolate findings from "plot-level" studies to broader spatial scales and from short-term studies to longer temporal scales, up to decades for questions related to long-term processes such as global warming and the rise in sea level.; The complex questions being addressed internationally require that scientists take advantage of new technologies including remote sensing, geographic information systems GIS, and powerful climatic and environmental simulation models. As more environmental scientists begin to work at these broader spatial and temporal scales, and to utilize many of the newer technologies, they are recognising a whole new class of problems.; This book aims to address the most pertinent issues, and includes a comprehensive review of selected topics, case studies, and theoretical discussions, divided into seven sections each preceded by a brief introduction.

With the theme “resilient dams for resilient communities,” the conference highlighted the latest developments in the area and provided a platform for researchers and professionals to exchange ideas and to address dam safety and engineering issues with the environment in mind. The topics covered included, but was not limited to, best practices in dam safety, reservoir management, dam health monitoring, risk assessment, emergency management and sustainable dams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a novel computation of the topographic LS factor of the USLE model to estimate spatial soil erosion. In developing countries, soil erosion is one of the main concerns as it adversely affects agriculture and reduces food production. Therefore, the author presents a particularly relevant approach, as he demonstrates how the C++ programming allows us to identify important erosion stages like detachment and deposition. He does this by assessing the annual rate of soil erosion from the Shakkar River watershed in India using distributed information and applying RS and GIS techniques. He also discusses different approaches that have been proposed to work out the influence of topography on erosion. Simulated and observed data of sediment loss are compared for the period 1992 to 2006.This book provides an easy-to-understand basic piece of soil erosion and hydrological research and reaches out to young researchers and students at the graduate and undergraduate level as well as applicants of soil erosion models.
