Abstract
A distributed-parameter sediment delivery model is linked with a personal computer-based, low-cost geographical information system to facilitate preparation, examination, and analysis of spatially distributed input parameters and to link the sediment delivery from a micro-scale to the watershed scale. The model accurately predicts, even for the same values of flow shear stress, the higher sediment delivery from bare surfaces as compared to surfaces protected by vegetation cover. This study enables the identification of vulnerable regions within a watershed, thus facilitating improvements in the planning of soil conservation systems.
