Soil-erosion-estimation To estimate potential zones of soil erosion in Kheda district of Gujarat using RUSLE model equation
The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation used to estimate average annual soil erosion potential, A=R×K×L×S×C×P...(1) Where, A = computed average annual soil loss (tons/ha/year), R = rainfall-runoff erosivity factor, K soil erodibility factor, L = slope length factor, S= slope steepness factor, C = cover-management factor, P= conservation practice factor

We take the study area of Kheda district, which spans an area of 719400 ha (3953 sq.km) and it is located at coordinates 72.68’ E longitude and 22.75’ N latitude. The study area is at altitude of 20 to 25m from mean sea level.
