The aim of this research was to analyze the impact implemented erosion control works (ECW) on soil intensity in watershed Ćelije reservoir (Rasina River) period between 1968 and 2022. Erosion Potential Method used calculate annual gross (W), sediment transport (G), coefficient (Z) study area. As a result performed ECW there general decreasing trend processes last 54 years. specific 1189.12 m3/km-2/year-1 1968, while 2022 it 554.20 m3/km-2/year-1. 540.18 253.55 Due changes decreased by 634.92 m3/km-2/year-1, 286.63 reduced from Z=0.62 Z= 0.35. A dependence slope siltation natural bed defined. results show significant correlation ECW, providing basis for future management defining strategy watershed.
