Event-based soil erosion and sediment yield modelling for calculating long-term reservoir sedimentation in the Alps

Hydrological Sciences Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 69(3), P. 321 - 336

Published: Jan. 29, 2024

Among the most characteristic offsite effects of soil erosion, reservoir sedimentation is one longlasting problems pertaining to storage capacity and dam operations. In this work, rates Fortezza in South Tyrol (Italian Alps) are analysed for nine erosive events over 14 months. Sediment calculated through a modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) combined with Delivery Ratio (SDR) module at 2.5 m resolution. The topographic factor adjusted Alpine terrain, an additional included consider nonerodible parts basin. results validated against 14-month sediment yield obtained by high-resolution (0.2 m) bathymetric analyses. has absolute deviation 4.8% from measured one. indicate that these methods can be successfully applied estimation Alps.

Soil legislation and policies: Bibliometric analysis, systematic review and quantitative approaches with an emphasis on the specific cases of the European Union and Portugal

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(14), P. e34307 - e34307

Published: July 1, 2024

The literature shows that there are dimensions related to soil legislation and policy in the European Union contexts can be better explored through bibliometric analysis, systematic reviews quantitative approaches. Therefore, this research aims analyse documents on policies, highlighting specific cases of Portugal (EU). aim is identify suggestions improve Portuguese instruments measures. To achieve these objectives, a analysis (considering text bibliographic data) review were carried out, as well survey available qualitative data analysis). results show have become more relevant recent years concerns about health, protection safety, risk mitigation, biodiversity preservation maintenance ecosystem services. However, some topics could further future research, namely those multidisciplinarity, smart methodologies, salinisation, innovation approaches assessing impacts. This study presents considered by policymakers respective policies. Defining regulatory system for soils has not been easy over time, although attempts, given specificities reluctance member states take certain innovative (there aren't many scientific address assessments with bring novelty literature.

Suspended Load Estimation in Data Scarce Rivers

Water Resources Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Sept. 17, 2024

Abstract Sediment rating curves (SRCs) are tools of satisfactory reliability in the attempt to describe sediment regime catchments with limited or poor-quality records. The study valorised most suitable SRC development method for estimation coarse suspended load at outlet nine Mediterranean sub-watersheds. Four established grouping techniques were assessed, minimize uncertainty results, namely simple curve, different ratings dry and wet season year, hydrographic classification, broken line interpolation, three major Greek rivers (Aliakmon, Acheloos – upper route, Arachthos). methods’ performance was benchmarked against discharge field records, utilizing statistical measures graphical analyses. necessary observations conducted by Public Power Corporation. results site/station dependent, no methodology emerged as universally accepted. analysis designated that curve performs best cross-sections Moni Ilarion, Prodromou, Arta bridge, year Grevena bridge Gogo classification Velventos Plaka interpolation Avlaki dam Tsimovo bridge. In this regard, advocates use multiple methods. Despite its limitations, merits a rather cost-effective generation (continuous, detailed, sufficiently accurate) synthetic timeseries, high interpolating, extrapolating reproducibility potential. success application could benefit, among others, water quality restoration management operations.

Published: Nov. 6, 2024

Soil erosion and sediment transport are significant concerns in the Yaqui River sub-basin northwest Mexico, driven by land use changes environmental degradation. This study aims to evaluate processes between 2000 2020 using a combination of satellite imagery numerical simulations with Iber software (Version 2.5.2). The primary objective is assess impacts changes, particularly conversion forest grassland, on rates transport. Satellite images from were analyzed detect cover while Iber’s module was used simulate patterns based Meyer–Peter Müller equation for bedload Hydrological topographical data incorporated provide accurate flow velocity, depth, potential. results reveal 35.3% reduction cover, leading increased steep areas. Simulation predictions highlighted areas high future potential, which at risk further soil loss if current trends continue. Flow velocity increased, contributing riverbank destabilization higher yield, posing infrastructure such as Álvaro Obregón Dam. underscores need targeted control measures sustainable management practices mitigate risks protect vital Basin.

The Importance of Measuring Soil Erosion by Water at the Field Scale: A Review

Water, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(23), P. 3427 - 3427

Water erosion is a significant global threat due to the high soil loss rate and all its consequent implications. Technologies predict are strongly related measurements vice versa. Measurements can simply provide empirical evidence of process hard extrapolate in time space. were used develop some models, such as Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), also for their calibration validation. Several measurement techniques collect data at different spatial temporal scales, but they cannot be considered fully accurate any experimental condition. Each technique exhibits advantages disadvantages, so extensive knowledge feasibility, accuracy, limitations required correctly plan experiments use performed measurements. In this paper, recent scientific developments on rainfall erosivity, plot scale, rill gully using close-range photogrammetry presented. Further considerations made quality usefulness importance measuring loss. Our critical analysis highlighted that reported literature solid basis, which, however, should developed improve range applicability quality.
