Sediment yield as a desertification risk indicator [PDF]

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment, 2011
Soil erosion is often regarded as one of the main processes of desertification. This has led to the use of various desertification indicators that are related to soil erosion. Most of these indicators focus, however, on small spatial units, while little attention has been given to the amount of sediment exported at the catchment scale.

Spatial Prioritization of Sediment Source Areas at Watershed Scale [PDF]

open access: yesWater Harvesting Research, 2022
Identification and prioritization of critical sub-watershed is essential to sediment control at watershed scale. Many studies have been carried out on the topic of identifying and prioritizing the critical source areas (CSAs); however, only few ...

Modelling of sediment yield using the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model: A case study of the Chanchaga Watersheds, Nigeria

open access: yesScientific African, 2021
Water erosion poses a threat to agricultural land and water resources and leads to land degradation with river/reservoir sedimentation. Against this backdrop, the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model was used to assess the effects of Ridging ...

Performance of AnnAGNPS model in predicting runoff and sediment yields in Nan Province, Thailand

open access: yesHeliyon, 2021
Land use changes such as deforestation and urban development influences the river discharge, soil erosion and sediment yield. It is important to evaluate tools which can be used to assess such impacts on water and sediment yield.
