Download or read book Gully Erosion Studies from India and Surrounding Regions written by Pravat Kumar Shit and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the scientific basis for the ample evaluation of badland management in India and some surrounding regions. It examines the processes operating in the headwaters and main channels of ephemeral rivers in lateritic environments of India. In particular, the book covers a range of vital topics in the areas of gully erosion and water to soil erosion at lateritic uplands regions of India and other regions in Asia. It explores the probable gully erosion modeling through Remote Sensing & GIS Techniques. It is divided into three units. Unit I deals with the introduction of badland, types of badland and the process of badland formation. Unit II is devoted to a description of quantitative measurements. Unit III deals with the control and management processes related to various issues from different regions. As such this book serves as a reference book for research activities in this area. It is an efficient guide for aspiring researchers in applied geography, explaining advanced techniques to help students recognize both simple and complex concepts.
Download or read book Gully Erosion Assessment and Prediction on Non agricultural Lands Using Logistic Regression written by Katie Handley and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gully erosion is a serious problem on military training lands resulting in not only soil erosion and environmental degradation, but also increased soldier injuries and equipment damage. Assessment of gully erosion occurring on Fort Riley was conducted in order to evaluate different gully location methods and to develop a gully prediction model based on logistic regression. Of the 360 sites visited, fifty two gullies were identified with the majority found using LiDAR based data. Logistic regression model was developed using topographic, landuse/landcover, and soil variables. Tests for multicollinearity were used to reduce the input variables such that each model input had a unique effect on the model output. The logistic regression determined that available water content was one of the most important factors affecting the formation of gullies. Additional important factors included particle size classification, runoff class, erosion class, and drainage class. Of the 1577 watersheds evaluated for the Fort Riley area, 192 watersheds were predicted to have gullies. Model accuracy was approximately 79% with an error of omission or false positive value of 10% and an error of commission or false negative value of 11%; which is a large improvement compared to previous methods used to locate gully erosion.
Download or read book Gully Erosion Assessment and Growth Prediction on Military Training Lands written by Chelsea Rose Corkins and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military maneuvers result in significant physical and environmental impacts to the landscape. These impacts generally result in a loss of vegetative cover and increased watershed runoff and rate depending on vehicle speed, turning radius, and soil moisture content. Unless adequately monitored or mitigated, this increased runoff can lead to excessive soil erosion and gully formation. Past studies have revealed that these gullies can impact water quality from excessive erosion and create concerns regarding soldier safety. In order to better understand how gullies form and evolve overtime on military installations, a study is being conducted at Fort Riley, KS. In 2010, approximately forty gullies were identified, assessed, and measured using common erosion monitoring and surveying techniques. These gully locations, and any newly formed gullies, were remeasured using these same methods in 2012 to determine the rate of growth for each site with respect to width, depth, and headcut. Of fifty-nine gullies total, twenty one were initially included in this study. Upon further analysis including the utilization of watershed characteristics and land management techniques, eleven of the 21 utilized gullies were deemed appropriate to include in predictive assessment, as these eleven systems exhibited singular headcut migration. Multiple Regression Analysis was utilized to produce predictive equations for Headcut Growth. This equation [Headcut Growth = 0.666 + 0.137(Watershed Slope) -- 0.478(Training Intensity) + 0.757(log[Watershed Area]) -- 0.278(Drainage Density) -- 0.0138(Above Ground Biomass Change) + 0.187(Burning Frequency] resulted in a model relationship of approximately 90%, with Watershed Slope being the most significant variable when an output Headcut Growth was reached.

This book was released on 2021-08-06 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes contributions from scientists and representatives from government and non-governmental organisations working in the field of land management and use and on management of fires. The book is truly interdisciplinary and has both a research and application-oriented dimension. The list of topics includes sustainability and water management; sustainability and biodiversity conservation; the future sustainability of nature-based industries such as agriculture, mining, tourism, fisheries and forestry; sustainability, people and livelihoods; sustainability and landscapes planning; sustainability and land use planning; handling and managing forest fires. The papers are innovative and cross-cutting, and many have practice-based experiences. Also, this book, prepared by the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP) and the World Sustainable Development Research and Transfer Centre (WSD-RTC), reiterates the need to promote a sustainable use of land resources today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Guide to Erosion and Sediment Control on Roadway Projects identifies the necessary tools and steps to design and implement effective erosion and sediment control plans (ESCPs) for road system planning, construction and maintenance in both urban and rural settings. The guide is intended to assist roadway authorities, consultants, contractors and regulators. This report will guide users in assessing ESCPs in terms of defining risk and level of effort, selecting appropriate methodologies for analysis and design, selecting appropriate mitigation measures in the form of best management practices (BMPs), and meeting legislative and regulatory requirements. Where possible, the Guide highlights regional differences in soil, vegetation and climate conditions and environmental receptors that must be considered when developing an ESCP. The Guide is divided into two parts: Theory and Application. Sections included under Theory are: physical processes, legislation, and risk assessment. Sections included under Application are: ESCP development, site assessment, BMP selection and design, and implementation.

MODELLING SOIL EROSION BY WATER l 2 John Boardman and David Favis-Mortlock 1 School of Geography and Environmental Change Unit Mansfield Road University of Oxford Oxford OX1 3TB UK 2 Environmental Change Unit University of Oxford 5 South Parks Road Oxford OX1 3UB UK Introduction This volume is the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop 'Global Change: Modelling Soil Erosion by Water', which was held on II-14th September 1995, at the University of Oxford, UK. The meeting was also one of a series organised by the IGBP 1 GCTE Soil Erosion Network, which is a component of GCTE's Land Degradation Task (3.3.2) (Ingram et aI., 1996; Valentin, this volume). One aim of the GCTE Soil Erosion Network is to evaluate the suitability of existing soil erosion models for predicting the possible impacts of global change upon soil erosion. Due to the wide range of erosion models currently, in use or under development, it was decided to evaluate models in the following sequence Favis-Mortlock et al., 1996): • field-scale water erosion models • catchmenr-scale water erosion models • wind erosion models • models with a landscape-scale and larger focus. As part of this strategy, the first stage of the GCTE validation of field-scale erosion models was carried out at the Oxford NATO-ARW. I A list of Acronyms fonns Appendix A.
