Universal Soil Loss Equation : Application in this Program <br />-------------------------------------------------------------- <br />-------------------------------------------------------------- <br />Required User Input: <br />------------------- <br />------------------- <br />Note : The following values are to be entered by the user for each area <br />in the watershed. The method for obtaining these parameters is left to the user. <br />Rainfall Factor (R) : Default = 50; <br />Erodability Factor (K) : Default = 0.37 <br />C Factor (C) : Default = 0.5 <br />P Factor (P) : Default = 1.0 <br />Geometric Information : <br />Area (sq units) : Can be entered by the user or the program calculates <br />the area of a user - selected closed polyline. The user also has the option <br />to enter the area in different units. <br />Slope, S ( %) : Can be entered by the user or the program calculates <br />the slope when the user selects an area from the screen. <br />Length (L) : Can be entered by the user. If the user selects an area from the screen, <br />the length is not calculated since the Gross Erosion is directly calculated. <br />Topographical Factor (Ls) : Will be calculated from Length (L) and the Slope (S), <br />only when these values are entered by the user directly, as against calculated <br />by the program from the screen. In the second case, the value of Ls is calculated <br />for individual grids and not for the entire area. <br />Attachment 2.05.3(3) -21 -27 <br />
