Three soil
erosion risk assessment models, namely, USLE ,
RUSLE and PESERA were selected to be tested and
benchmarked at different scales and different test sites in order to define
their relative advantages and disadvantages.
The selection of the three GIS-compatible
models was based on the review of the literature and by taking into account
the following:
• the OWS-S User requirements and needs
• the data requirements of the models, and
• the data availability in each of the test sites
The first products per test site are
presented below. |
