Abstract

The research work was conducted for the estimation of runoff and soil loss from SA-13 watershed. SA-13 watershed has area of 213 km2 in Ashti tahsil, Beed. The SCS curve number method and Revised USLE using RS and GIS techniques were used to find out runoff volume and soil erosion. The results show that the average rainfall for the year 2005 in the SA-13 watershed was 406.50 mm and average annual runoff was 93.52 mm, amounting 23.01% of the total rainfall received. The average annual soil loss of the SA-13 watershed is 8.2 tons/ha/year. Soil erosion is in moderate erosion risk class. The results obtained using remote sensing techniques can help decision makers to prepare resource map accurately in less time and cost.
