Sub-watershed prioritization for soil erosion potentiality estimation in tenughat catchment, India

Watershed prioritization of Kailali district through morphometric parameters and landuse/landcover datasets using GIS

“…Similarly, the dissection index (DI) value ranges from 0.23 to 0.92 indicating sw8 as being the least erosive and sw7 and sw3 as being the most erosive nature [ 14 ]. The ruggedness number (Rn) ranges from 0.05 to 1.60 indicating sw8, sw4, sw9, sw13, sw17, sw14, sw18, and sw16 has low Rn value and hence are less vulnerable to soil erosion while other Sub-watersheds have higher values with sw7 being more vulnerable to erosion [ 31 ].
