The complex environmental process of soil erosion is crucial to sustainable land management and conservation. This study uses the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model understand intricate interactions that cause in Cluj County, Romania, a region susceptible landslide phenomenon. established analysis depicts patterns from localised hotspots regions relative stability, providing valuable insights into this critical issue. Spatial distribution maps with color-coded gradients show risk identify vulnerable regions, temporal investigations depicting how changes affect erosion, making it relevant conservation management. A careful USLE model's parameters (Ls, Cs, C, S, K) shows their contributions. rates were graded five classes accordance general practices modelling, which range very-low, low, moderate, high very-high susceptibility erosion. While significant majority county’s surface represented by very-low low risk, several identified intense processes highlights need implement measures area.

As the fertile topsoil is constantly washed away and agricultural production decreased, soil erosion a serious environmental issue that affects entire planet. All river basins experience changes in land use affect sediment dynamics, erodibility, hydrologic response. The main reason for faster rates frequently attributed to those alterations. In current study, Intensity of Erosion Outflow (IntErO) model was used estimate yield maximum outflow from three Cluj County, Transylvania, Romania. Because county hilly has significant issues, it essential have solid understanding how occurs basins. This will allow more precise planning conservation projects effective management severity processes. IntErO offers quick, efficient, feasible insight into changing testing procedures been put place an component ongoing development watershed strategies at regional level. relief characteristics predominant selected prototype significantly influenced resulting real losses. application assessing Transylvanian hills represents novel approach. findings this study hold potential informing policymakers formulation robust regulations pertaining water conservation. Consequently, implementation such measures expected contribute safeguarding basin soils.

The prioritization of preventing soil loss in Türkiye’s watersheds has become a pressing concern for planners. Numerous mathematical models are presently utilized on global scale erosion prediction. One such model is the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), commonly used to estimate average loss. Recently, there been an increased emphasis utilizing USLE/RUSLE conjunction with Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, enabling grid-based analysis predicting and facilitating control measures. This study evaluates effectiveness flood initiatives started 1970s within Emine Creek watershed its tributary rivers Osmancık, Türkiye, RUSLE/GIS technologies.
