Abstract
A Comparative Study of different models for assessment of soil erosion (Universal Soil Loss Equation and Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) and sediment yield (Modify Universal Soil Loss Equation and Sediment delivery ratio) carried out in Pairi Watershed, Chhattisgarh, India. The main objective is to estimate the spatial pattern of annual soil erosion rate and sediment yield using Remote Sensing and GIS technique which are promising and cost-effective tools for mapping critical areas. To calculate the soil erosion and sediment yield different spatial data sets were utilized such as rainfall, soil texture, topography, land use land cover etc. Obtained result of soil erosion and sediment yield was validated using field check using Baronda CWC Observatory data. It is found that, RUSLE model for soil erosion and MUSLE model for sediment yield has been found to be most reliable for the study area.
