It typically occurs evenly over a uniform slope and goes unnoticed until most of the productive soil
topsoil has been lost. Erosion is one of the biggest concerns of earth's land surface. Such estimates
can be obtained through actual measurements and also through the use of estimation procedures.
Rills are elementary small channels in the upland portion of the catchment. This figure indicates that
in India landslides mainly occur along the Shiwaliks in the Himalayas. It has many impacts on
agricultural production and also in all engineering and construction industries. It has impacts which
are both on-site (at the place where the soil is detached) and off-site (where the eroded soil ends
up).The GLASOD study estimated that. Roots play an important role in reducing erosion rate by
binding the soil mass to increase its resistance to flow. It was observed that along the stretch of the
river, sediment deposition or erosion take place due to imbalance between sediment inflow and
sediment transport capacity. Further, the novel trends in soil erosion prediction and estimation using
soil erosion modeling have been examined using examples in this article. Again, the study indicated
that most previous authors on soil erosion assessment used the empirical models due to their limited
data and parameter inputs. The temperature plays an important role in the process of weathering
which leads to disintegration of rocks. Help Center Here you'll find an answer to your question.
Erosion can obstruct roadways, fill drainage channels, and degrade water quality in streams, rivers,
and lakes. Therefore, soil erosion control measures are required as an aspect of catchment
management. Yet, degradation seems to be an inevitable fate of the resource we are trying to
conserve. In many parts of the world, rill and gully erosion is the dominant form of water erosion.
The objective of this report is to highlight the various methods that can be employed to control soil
erosion and the soil conservation practices that are needed for problem soils. More fertilizers will
have to be used as a substitute for the lost soil, therefore a raise in food costs. In the present paper
light is focused on erosion and its impacts on sedimentation and Floods considering relevant case
studies, also some of the potential remedial measures are briefly discussed. It's like a masterclass to

rill, rill and gully erosion exceeds its transport capacity. Different scientific documents including
journal articles, internet materials, conference papers and books were used as research materials to
achieve the objectives of the present work. Erosion can be caused by multiple reasons, and every
situation has a specific solution depending on the severity of the problem. The application of these
models is dependent on the soil type and climate of the given area because models differ in
complexity and input requirements. An intense thunderstorm over the Alaknanda valley in the
Himalayas during 1970 led to severe erosion and breached the barriers which had developed across
the Alaknanda River and its tributaries. Upload Read for free FAQ and support Language (EN) Sign

articles, bulletins, conference papers, textbooks, research reports and publicly available materials on
soil erosion models and their applications. The erosion plot method for direct evaluation in agriculture
became necessary to (1) quantify soil erosion on cocoa, areca and oil palm, (2) determine the most
effective soil conservation, and (3) calculate nutrient content in sediment. This review paper
primarily is intended to compare the opportunities and limitations of widely implemented soil erosion
estimation models and review their applicability by selecting widely used models such as: USLE,
RUSLE, SLEMSA, and WEPP. This means that the area affected by water erosion is roughly around
11 mill ion square km, and the area affected by wind erosion is around 5.5 million square km. Most of
the rivers in India rise in hills, flows towards plain after traversing certain distance and continue
towards outfall into sea or other river. Download Free PDF View PDF See Full PDF Download PDF

the process of weathering which leads to disintegration of rocks. Values of m are found to vary
between 1.30 to 2.00 while n is found to vary between 0.30 to 0.70 in the case of erosion by
overland flow. To plan for the soil conservation measures, the information on soil erosion is essential.
Data used in formation of USLE, RUSLE1 equations was plot data so its applicability at greater

with water or the wind, and it has been identified as a natural process. Fig 1 shows locations of
landslide prone areas of India (Garde and Kothyari, 1989). Landslides are the other dominant cause
of soil erosion and related problems in the Himalayas. These degraded land surfaces also become
sources of pollution to the natural water. Articles Get discovered by sharing your best content as

Environment On-site and Off-site Effects of Soil Erosion: Causal Analysis and Remedial Measures
in Agricultural Land - a Review Umaru Garba Wali Soil erosion is one of the main factors causing
land degradation. Over the years various soil erosion models have been developed. Activities such as
deforestation, Mining, Agriculture etc., that dominantly occurr ed in the recent past due to
developments resulted in soil on land surfaces exposed directly to the rains. Generally forests are
most effective in reducing erosion because of their canopy; dense grass is equally effective. There are
numerous onsite and offsite consequences due to soil erosion, such as loss of yield in agricultural
lands, thinning and crusting of topsoil, poor water infiltration and nutrient retention, silting in the
surface water sources leading flooding, decreasing dry-water flow, and degrading environmental
sustainability etc. Data used in formation of USLE, RUSLE1 equations was plot data so its

erosion rate by binding the soil mass to increase its resistance to flow. When erosion occurs naturally,
soil is relocated at about the same rate it is created, so no harm is done to the environment. Universal
Soil Loss Equation (USLE), Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation 1 (RUSLE1or RUSLE) and
Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE), RUSLE 1.06, RUSLE1.06c, RUSLE2 are most
widely used conventional erosion estimation methods.
Relative importance of rill erosion depends on the rill spacing. Protection is required at such location
for safety of adjoining villages, fields and establishment. For the project planning purpos e estimates
of sediment yield can be made with the available techniques by using the data on the
hydrometeorology and the catchment characteristics. This causes increase in floods plain area of the
river, choking of the clearance below the bridge and culverts etc. Vast tracts of land have been thus
irreversibly converted into infertile surfaces due to the continued soil erosion. Reservoir
sedimentation is the problem of prime concerns for water resources engineers and gets accelerated
due to catchment soil erosion. You can download the paper by clicking the button above. Social

RUSLE1 equations are that they are based on average annual values of its parameters and so their
applicability to small temporal scale is questionable. Rills ace usually initiated at the critical distance
where overland flow gets channelized. The objective of this report is to highlight the various
methods that can be employed to control soil erosion and the soil conservation practices that are
needed for problem soils. It's like a masterclass to be explored at your own pace. This means that the

expressed by many, as proportional to (slope)m (length)n. The WEPP model has capability to
estimate soil loss in a short time scale and out-of-place erosion rates, but; it only works for individual
hillslope. Adobe InDesign Design pixel-perfect content like flyers, magazines and more with Adobe
InDesign. Once the rills are formed, flow is concentrated and erosion is related to other
characteristics. Soil eroded from the upland areas of the catchment, gets deposited in the rivers
causing aggradation thereby the normal flow path in the river course gets congested. There are
numerous onsite and offsite consequences due to soil erosion, such as loss of yield in agricultural
lands, thinning and crusting of topsoil, poor water infiltration and nutrient retention, silting in the
surface water sources leading flooding, decreasing dry-water flow, and degrading environmental
sustainability etc. Larger the raindrop size and greater the rainfall intensity more the soil splash in
inter-rills. This unprotected soil could be easily removed from the land surfaces by the combined
action of rain and the resulting flow. It typically occurs evenly over a uniform slope and goes
unnoticed until most of the productive soil topsoil has been lost. The effect of these forces varies
with soil properties, cropping management, and the severity of the processes. The sediment load thus
increased enormously also the concentration of sediment in the Ganga River at Hardwar. In order to
relate the forces acting on soils to different properties and to wind erodibility, standardized methods
are needed to measure the aggregate size distribution and aggregate stability. Poor construction
practices, inadequate maintenance, uncontrolled livestock access and cropping too close can all lead
to bank erosion problems. The direct damages from bank erosion include loss of productive
farmland, undermining of structures such as bridges, increased need to clean out and maintain.
