To formulate SLEMSA model, Elwell divided the development programme in following four distinct phases: 1. Physical System 2. Control Variables 3. Sub-Models 4. Main Model (Z). Phase # 1. Physical System: The physical system to affect the soil loss in field involves a large number of causative factors of varying importance; they interact in a complex manner. In this model [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Applications of the Universal Soil Loss Equation 2. Limitations of the Universal Soil Loss Equation 3. Conversion. Applications of the Universal Soil Loss Equation: There are following three main applications of the universal soil loss equation, given as: 1. It predicts the soil loss. 2. It helps in selection of the agricultural [...]
The following points highlight the eleven major models used for predicting the annual rate of soil loss. The models are: 1. Standford Sediment Model 2. Morgan, Morgan and Finney Model 3. F.A.O. Provisional Model 4. Stehlik Model 5. Slemsa Model 6. Erosion Deposition Process Model 7. Simplified Erosion Process Model 8. Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) Model and Few Others. [...]
