A Comparison of Universal Soil Loss Equation Results Using a Remote Sensing/GIS Technique to Results Obtained Using a Field Survey Technique

Description: Digital satellite remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been used in conjunction with the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) to model soil erosion potential within watersheds. This study compared erosion estimates calculated by the remote sensing method to results obtained in the field by soil conservationists using conventional methods.

Modelling Land Use Change and Nonpoint Source Pollution Potential Using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System Technology

Description: In this study Geographic Information System (GIS) technology was integrated with remote sensing techniques in order to determine the potential for nonpoint source pollution in the Lake Palestine and Cedar Creek Reservoir watersheds of North Central Texas. The Universal Soil Loss Equation was used to determine soil erosion potential from the watersheds, and export coefficients were used to estimate nutrient loadings into the reservoirs.

Estimating Nonpoint Source Pollution in North Texas Watersheds through Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Description: Monitoring nonpoint source pollution in a large area is often impractical. However, estimating nonpoint pollution through use of empirical models such as the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) provides a basis for identifying problem areas, and setting management priorities. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of using Landsat imagery and existing geographic data to estimate the effects of land use changes on water quality in four North Texas watersheds over a twelve yea… more
