Abstract

This study was carried out in the watershed located between the municipalities of Tassette and Notto, where soil water erosion is one of the most dangerous threats in the region.This work aims to quantify the degree of soil erodibility in the Thiesplateauand then draw up an erosion risk map using the improved boyoucoss method. Interpretation of the experimental results reveals that the erodibility index varies between 1.62 and 14.10, with an average value of 5.6. This variation in the erodibility index shows areas of high, moderate and very high vulnerability, respectively 59%, 18.2% and 18% of the areas studied. The progressive degradation of soils by water erosion is also amplified by inappropriate human activities, weakening the resilience of ecosystems and communities.
