摘要

This paper reports on a field study conducted in Kilie catchment, East Shoa Zone, Ethiopia to assess the rate of soil erosion by employing a soil loss prediction model (Universal Soil Loss Equation) integrated with in remote sensing and geographical information systems (RS/GIS), environment and gully measurement techniques. The final soil erosion risk map was produced after multiplication of the six factors involved in the USLE and RS/GIS. Gully measurement showed that the erosion rate is higher for the upland areas than the lowlands due to inappropriate soil and water conservation measures, free grazing by animals and conversion of hillside areas into farmlands. About 97.04 per cent of the study catchment falls within a range of 010?t?ha-1?yr-1 sheet/rill erosion rate. We found that 2.17 per cent of the study area in the uplands has a soil erosion rate falling between 10 and 20?t?ha-1?yr-1. About 0.8 per cent of the study area in the uplands is hit by severe sheet/rill erosion rate within the range of 20-60?t?ha-1?yr-1. Gully erosion extent in the study area was evaluated through gully measurement and quantification methods. Gully density of 67?m?ha-1 was recorded in the catchment. The gully to plot area ratio was found to be 0.14 on average. Hence, in the upland areas, sustainable land management practices are required in order to reduce the rate of soil erosion.
