Soil erosion is a serious problem and greatest destroyer |
|
to land cover management and resources of the Upper- |
|
Helmand river basin catchment. The Upper-Helmand river |
|
basin catchment covers an area of 46,793 square |
|
kilometers. In the present study, Universal Soil Loss |
|
Equation (USLE) model with Remote Sensing and |
|
Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques have |
|
been used to estimate soil erosion risks and sediment |
|
yield at the Upper-Helmand catchment outlet (Kajki |
|
reservoir). Potential soil erosion and magnitude are |
|
determined in the catchment. Using USLE model, soil |
|
erosion map has been prepared and presented, which will |
|
be helpful for conservational and management practices to |
|
reduce soil erosion and its yield into the reservoir. It |
|
is also found that the average soil erosion from the |
|
catchment is 6.22ton/ha/year and corresponding sediment |
|
yield trapped at the Kajaki reservoir. |
