    EROSION

    EROSION is the wearing


    away of land. Natural
    agents such as water, wind
    and gravity are eroding the
    land surface since geologic
    times.
    EROSION INDEX
    or ERODIBILITY
    INDEX
    • Measure selected to determine
    whether a soil map unit is highly
    erodible
    • The greater the proportion of
    detachable fine particles, the higher
    the soil erodibility index and the
    more likely is wind erosion to occur
    • It also called the K factor, the rate of
    soil loss per unit of R ( rainfall
    erosivity index based on EI30 --30
    minutes rainfall intensity energy
    causing erosion) on a unit plot and
    indicates the relative eases at which
    the soil is detached and transported.
    SOIL ERODIBILITY
    INDEX BASED ON
    SOIL TYPE
    SEDIMENT
    DELIVERY RATIO
    • The ratio of sediment yield to gross
    erosion
    • Probably the simplest and most
    likely method to be used in the field
    • It has been derived from numerous
    sediment surveys
    • The sediment yield from an area
    divided by the gross erosion of that
    same area
    • Expressed as a percent and
    represents the efficiency of the
    watershed in moving soil particles
    from areas of erosion to the point
    where sediment yield is measured
    BED LOAD is the
    relatively coarse
    bed material load
    that is moved at
    the bed surface
    through sliding,
    rolling, and
    saltation (hopping)
    • It describes the particles in a flowing
    fluid (usually water) that are
    transported along the stream bed
    • It is complementary to suspended
    load and wash load
    SUSPENDED LOAD is
    the relatively finer
    bed material that is
    kept in suspension in
    the flow through
    turbulence eddies and
    transported in
    suspension mode by
    the flowing water
    • Refers to that part of the total
    sediment transport which is
    maintained in suspension by
    turbulence in the flowing water for
    considerable periods of time without
    contact with the stream bed. It
    moves with practically the same
    velocity as that of the flowing water
    RESERVIOR
    DELTA
    DELTAS are major
    sites and sand and
    mud deposition. They
    contain significant
    volumes of
    hydrocarbons
    worldwide.
    • Deltas form as rivers empty their
    water and sediment into another
    body of water, such as an ocean,
    lake, or another river.
    THAT’S ALL
