Towards improving the applicability of the RUSLE model at mountainous Mediterranean catchments
Abstract:In here we present a modified version of the RUSLE model, which can perform better than the original version at mountainous, Mediterranean catchments. A weighing coefficient is assigned at each factor in the model resulting into a reduction in the model residuals (difference between modeled and observed sediment yield). Observations are based on sediment discharge measurements conducted by the Greek Public Power Corporation (PPC). The study area includes the catchments of Venetikos, Kalamas, Arachthos and Ache… Show more
