Soil Erosion and Sediment Transport Dynamics in the Blue Creek Watershed, Pike County, Illinois

摘要

Adequate control of soil erosion requires an effective and efficient management program. This study integrates the results of a SCS Phase II Erosion Inventory, a computerized geo-based generated potential gross erosion inventory, a lake sedimentation survey, water quality monitoring, computer modelling and stream geometry monitoring, computer modelling and stream geometry monitoring to determine the effectiveness of implemented RMS's. Various sediment delivery ratio predictive techniques were examined as part of this study.
