“…Traditional techniques, aimed at identifying the source and the pathway of the sediment have included methods such as risk assessments, field observation and mapping (Lao and Coote 1993), landowner questionnaires (Krause et al 2008), remote sensing (Vrieling 2006), use of erosion pins (Lawler et al 1997), and terrestrial photogrammetry (Barker et al 1997). Given the time and cost involved in establishing and operating plot experiments, and the fact that data available from them are limited, attention has been directed towards the use of environmental radionuclides for documenting erosion rates (Sepulveda et al 2008) Cs and up to 100 years for unsupported 210 Pb) estimates of both the magnitude and spatial distribution of soil redistribution rates generated by sheet and rill erosion, by means of a single site visit (Blake et al 1999).…”

“…In the context of water-caused soil erosion, removal of soil particles is the result of raindrops, while surface runoff carried out the transportation process [4]. Though soil erosions are the result of the interplay between soil erodibility and rainfall erosivity factors, inappropriate human practices such as cultivation in upslope areas, deforestation, an extension of urban areas and roads, and uncontrolled and overgrazing aggravate the problem [5][6][7][8].…”

Abstract:Soil erosion by water has accelerated over recent decades due to non-sustainable land use practices resulting in substantial land degradation processes. Spatially explicit information on soil erosion is critical for the development and implementation of appropriate Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) measures.The objectives of this study were to estimate the magnitude of soil loss rate, assess the change of erosion risk, and elucidate their implication for SWC planning in the Gobele Watershed, East Hararghe Zone, Ethiopia. Applying remote sensing data, the study first derived the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model parameters in an ArcGIS environment and estimated the soil loss rates. The estimated total soil loss in the watershed was 1,390,130.48 tons in 2000 and 1,022,445.09 tons in 2016 with a mean erosion rate of 51.04 t ha −1 y −1 and 34.26 t ha −1 y −1 , respectively. The study area was divided into eight erosion risk classes ranging from very low to extremely high. We established a change detection matrix of the soil erosion risk classes between 2000 and 2016. The change analysis results have revealed that about 70.80% of the soil erosion risk areas remained unchanged, 19.67% increased in total area, and 9.53% decreased, showing an overall worsening of the situation. We identified and mapped areas with a higher and increasing erosion risk as SWC priority areas using a Multi-criteria Decision Rules (MCDR) method. The top three priority levels marked for the emergency SWC measures account for about 0.04%, 0.49%, and 0.83%, respectively. These priority levels are situated along the steep slope areas in the north, northwest, south, and southeast of the Gobele Watershed. It is, thus, very critical to undertake proper intervention measures in upslope areas based on the priority levels to establish sustainable watershed management in the study area.

“…Algunas consideraciones de la ecuación USLE (Vrieling, 2006) es que es un modelo empírico de promedios a largo plazo de erosión planar y de surcos de datos de parcelas del Este de Estados Unidos. Además que se necesita una serie de datos históricos con valores locales y a una buena escala para los parámetros R, K y C. Debido a esto USLE, puede servir como una referencia inicial, pero debe investigarse o crear modelos más cercanos a la realidad y que puedan ser calibrados, así como validados.…”

Yang y Zhu (2003) explican que para el estudio de la erosión se usan actualmente los sensores remotos y los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (GIS) y que se dividen en la interpretación visual, análisis espectrales, determinación de parámetros, así como la interpretación interactiva con criterios de experto y de computadora.…”

Severe problems of denudation are happening in Tierra Blanca Joven pyroclasts within the Metropolitan Area of San Salvador, affecting infrastructure and housing projects. This leads to necessary and constant mitigation works. To understand the behavior and characteristics of these pyroclasts a monitoring program began. This was made through the installation in some sectors of 3/8 inch rods to recognize changes of erosion and sedimentation. With the help of remote sensors, historical changes were identified in the drainages. For this area a map of erodibility with the Universal Equation of Soil Loss was obtained. The results show the importance and influence of climatic factors, tectonic, human actions and changes of the base level of drainage. This can be used to build criteria for research and propose protection zones in the river drainage system. The monitoring probes to be useful and is necessary to improve it.
