Soil Erosion Risk Assessment Using GIS Based USLE Model for Soil and Water Co...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
— Soil erosion is natural phenomena and is modified by biophysical environment comprising soil, climate, terrain, ground cover and their interactions. Due to different factors, it is difficult to make watershed management successful in all areas at one time. Because of this, prioritization of sub watershed is very important for soil conservation planning and implementation. In Somodo watershed more than five years different soil and water conservation technologies were implemented and satisfactory result was not recorded. In this aspect, it is important to consider further watershed management planning., This study therefore investigated soil erosion risk assessment using GIS and USLE model for soil and water conservation in Somodo watershed southwestern Ethiopia with the aim of estimating soil erosion rate and identify soil erosion hot pot areas through prioritization of sub watershed in Somodo watershed by the help of GIS based USLE model. Both primary and secondary data sources were used for model input. These data were computed at a grid level with 30*30m resolution and then overlaid to generate mean annual soil loss by the help of raster calculator in Arc GIS tool. Results of the study showed that, the mean annual soil loss of the watershed was 18.69 ton ha-1 year-1 ranging from 0 to 131.21. More than 75% of the watershed have soil loss greater than 20 ton ha-1 year-1 and only 25% of the area have soil loss less than 10 ton ha-1 year-1 .On the bases of mean annual soil loss SW-4, SW-6 and SW-7 were under slight (0-10 ton ha-1 year-1) erosion severity level, while the remaining SW-2, SW-3 and SW-8 were under moderate (10-20 ton ha-1 year-1) level. And SW-1 was in high (20-30 ton ha-1 year-1) erosion severity level, where as SW-5 and SW-9 were found in very high (>30 ton ha-1 year-1) erosion severity level. Since large area of the watershed has soil loss more than tolerable level (11 ton ha-1 year-1) attention should be given to identify erosion hot spot areas to minimize the on-site and off-site problems. Therefore, the study suggested that for effective watershed management and soil conservation planning, these sub-watershed priorities should be used in the watershed.

Soil erosion is one of the eight threats in the Soil Thematic Strategy, the main policy
instrument dedicated to soil protection in the European Union (EU). During the last decade, soil
erosion indicators have been included in monitoring the performance of the Common Agricultural
Policy (CAP) and the progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study comes
five years after the assessment of soil loss by water erosion in the EU [Environmental science & policy 54,
438–447 (2015)], where a soil erosion modelling baseline for 2010 was developed. Here, we present an
update of the EU assessment of soil loss by water erosion for the year 2016. The estimated long-term
average erosion rate decreased by 0.4% between 2010 and 2016.

ABSTRACT: Advocated organic matter (OM) supplying to agriculture soil should be according to the soil properties, resulting different rates requirement instead of applying blank recommendation (12 tha-1 ). Two lowlands under continuous rice-rice cropping in the centre of Côte d’Ivoire were surveyed in 2013 considering 31 rice fields (farmers) for each location. Soil samples (93) were taken in 0 – 20 cm depth systematically (50 m along × 20 m across) extending the hydromorphic zone (HZ), the fringe valley (FV) and the valley bottom (VB) along the upper stream (US), median (MS) and downstream (DS) positions respectively. Soil organic carbon (SOC) content was differently observed in association with clay or silt particles according the topographic positions. Lowest amounts of SOC, maximum stable C (31.02% – 31.66%) and highest C mineralization (2.72% – 2.97%) rate (K2) were often accounting for the HZ contrasting with the VB. Unexpected higher rates of 224 tha-1 , 269.4 tha-1 and 281.03 tha-1 as rice and weed residues were required across the transversal section of the valley respectively over the current recommendation of 12 tha-1 . Dissolved C and leached nutrients (Na, K, Mg and Ca) may be released from HZ to VB contributing to rice yield gap (4.5 – 6.44 th-1 ). Soil contents of clay and K were the most relevant yield increasing factors against the contents of sand, silt and K2 value. More enriched organic-C source was required for improving organic input in the studied agro-systems emphasizing a major constraint for lowland rice production.

Summary
Reliability
Status Change trend
Erosion (↙)
It is vulnerable to soil erosion due to mountainous terrain and
intensive summer rainfall(form June to September). Soil conservation
technology is being developed. As is not directly linked to farmer’s
income, pre-and post management on erosion is inadequate.
● ◒
Acidification
(↗)
The soil is acidified by the effect of base washing and deposition of
acidic compound by the rainfall. In the case of agricultural land, soil pH
is improving by continuous input of lime material.
● ●
Nutrient
unbalance
( - )
The application rate of chemical fertilizer decreased by 54%, while the
input of animal waste increased by 74% compared to 1990s. Balance
of nitrogen and phosphorus is 248 and 46 kg/ha, which is very high in
arable soil. Excess nutrients could be affected soil productivity and
water pollution to nearby water shield.
● ●
Compaction
(↙)
The mechanization of soil management is major reason to the
compaction of the soil. The compacted soil could reduce soil
productivity and water storage by restricting root growth and
infiltration .
◒ ◒
Sealing
(↙)
The impervious area has increased by the urbanization and
industrialization. Soil water storage and diversity is suppressed the
exchange between soil and materials as rainwater, light, oxygen.
