Application of empirical models is inevitable because of the complexity of process, features, spatial and temporal variation of soil erosion and non-existence or lack of associated data. In the present study, maximum outflow and soil erosion intensity were predicted for Khamsan representative watershed in West of Iran, using IntEro model. The results of production of erosion material in the river basin (W year), coefficient of the deposit retention (Ru) and real soil losses (G year) were then compared with the measured soil erosion, SDR and sediment yield data in Khamsan watershed. The intensity of the erosion process were medium in studied watershed. The predicted data were compared with the measured sediment yield of studied watershed and verified the acceptable results of the IntEro model in Khamsan representative watershed. The results showed that the peak flow is 27.50 m 3 s -1 for a return period of 100 years. The value of Z coefficient of 0.876 indicates that the river basin belongs to the second destruction category out of five. The calculated net soil loss from the river basin was 12263.44 m 3 per year, specific 282.81 m 3 km -2 per year. The strength of the erosion process is strong, and according to the erosion type, it is surface erosion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
