Abstract
Soil Erosion Prediction Using GIS and Remote Sensing on Manjunto Watershed Bengkulu, Indonesia
Highlights
IntroductionHigh rate of soil erosion caused adverse impacts on environmental and economic aspects (Lal 1998) and it could even spread to the social aspect (Ande et al.2009)
Changes in land use and deforestation have caused increasing of soil erosion from year to year.High rate of soil erosion caused adverse impacts on environmental and economic aspects (Lal 1998) and it could even spread to the social aspect (Ande et al.2009)
If soil erosion is occurring faster than necessary, it will have a negative impact on the environment, economic and social
Summary
High rate of soil erosion caused adverse impacts on environmental and economic aspects (Lal 1998) and it could even spread to the social aspect (Ande et al.2009). This is because erosion can reduce the storage capacity of a lake or reservoir (Clark et al.2003), lowering the quality of river water (Ananda and Herath 2003; Lal 1998; Pimentel et al.1995), and wash the nutrients needed by plants (Ande et al.2009). Strategic effort to reduce the negative impacts of soil erosion is to conduct soil and water conservation measures intensively
