摘要: 基于USLE模型利用地理信息系统(GIS)和遥感(RS)对Wadsa-Chincholi流域年土壤流失量空间分布进行调查。空间输入数据由Arc GIS 9.3和RS(ERDAS IMAGINE 9.3图像处理软件)提供,利用USLE对网格内年均输沙量的空间分布进行预测。USLE参数基本单元的网格单元尺寸(GCS)分别为50 m×50 m、100 m×100 m和200 m×200 m。根据流域出口对年均输沙量进行估算。此外,将利用通用土壤流失方程(USLE)估算的产沙量与观测值进行对比。利用USLE模型预测得到50 m×50 m、100 m×100 m和200 m×200 m的年均输沙量分别为在63.80、18.83和3.67 t(hm2·年)。200 m×200 m GCS预测值与观测得到的产沙量基本相符。因此,在200 m×200 m GCS情况下,利用USLE模型得到的预测结果能够用于对Wadsa-Chincholi流域产沙量空间分布的研究。从水土保持角度来看,研究区域涵盖了侵蚀非常严重、侵蚀严重、侵蚀非常高、高度侵蚀和中度侵蚀类,这都需要引起重视。Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the spatial distribution of annual soil loss using the USLE model with Geographic Information System(GIS)and Remote Sensing(RS)for the Wadsa-Chincholi watershed.The Arc GIS 9.3 software and RS(ERDAS IMAGINE 9.3 image processing software)provided spatial input data,and the USLE were used to predict the spatial distribution of the average annual sediment yield on grid basis.Cell based USLE parameters were multiplied in the specified into 50 m×50 m,100 m×100 m,200 m×200 m Grid Cell Size(GCS),and the average annual sediment yields were estimated at the outlet of watershed,for each year separately.Further,the sediment yields estimated by the Universal Soil Loss Equation(USLE)model were compared with observed data.The estimated average annual sediment yield from USLE model with 50 m×50 m,100 m×100 m and 200 m×200 m GCS was found to be 63.80,18.83 and 3.67 thm2·yr,respectively.The estimated sediment yields in 200 m×200 m GCS from the observed value are satisfactory matching.Hence,the results of USLE model at 200 m×200 m GCS can be applied for spatial sediment yield estimation from the Wadsa-Chincholi watershed.Therefore,area covered by very severe erosion class,severe erosion class,very high erosion class,high erosion and moderate erosion class need immediate attention from soil conservation point of view.
