Evaluation of the effects of land consolidation in the Latyczyn village in terms of land protection against erosion on the slope scale

AbstractSoil erosion by water is an important economical issue strongly deteriorating environment and requiring remedial actions. The study was designed to evaluate antierosion effect of changes in the layout of plots from along to across slope as an effect of land consolidation. Moreover, rightness of leaving newly set out boundaries of plots without any protection (i.e. sodding) was evaluated. For this purpose simulations of use of additional anti-erosive measures were done. The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model was used. Studies have shown that in addition to the design of transverse layout of parcels during consolidation, further antierosion measures may be necessary to reduce soil loss and sediment yield. In order to minimize soil losses outside the slope, boundaries between the newly designed fields should be sodded already in the post consolidation management. Limitation the amount of erosion over the entire slope requires use of additional protection measures in the upper part of slopes e.g. shelterbelts and antierosion crop rotations. WEPP model can be recommended for Provincial Bureaus of Surveying as a tool to support the development of assumptions for consolidation projects of lands threatened by erosion.

Soil Erosion By Water

Erosion prediction efforts are described to provide a synopsis of the USDA's experience in developing and applying soil erosion prediction technology in its research and development activities and its soil conservation programs. For almost five decades, equations to predict soil erosion by water have been useful m developing plans for controlling soil erosion and sedimentation. The Universal Soil Low Equation (USLE) is the most widely known and used of the erosion prediction equations. The USLE presents a simply understood and easily applied technology which has been of incalculable benefit to soil conservation and land management. The Chemicals, Runoff, and Erosion from Agricultural Management Systems Model (CREAMS) contains a sophisticated erosion component based, in part, on the USLE and on flow hydraulics and the processes of sediment detachment, transport, and deposition. In 1985, the USDA in cooperation with BLM and several universities initiated a national project called the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) to develop a next generation water erosion prediction technology. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is an update of the USLE to improve erosion prediction in the interim before WEPP is adopted and to provide and adjunct technology thereafter.

Water Erosion Prediction Project

O objetivo do trabalho foi testar o modelo WEPP (Water Erosion Prediction Project), através de comparações entre volume de enxurrada e perda de solo observados experimentalmente, provenientes dos segmentos de estradas florestais submetidas à chuva natural com inclinações de 1 e 7% e comprimentos de rampa de 20 e 40 m, e aqueles preditos pelo aplicativo, visando o desenvolvimento de um modelo brasileiro de predição de erosão em estradas florestais. Na determinação da quantidade do material erodido foram instalados tambores coletores, com capacidade de 209,25 litros, localizados na parte inferior das estradas, onde foram inseridas tubulações de PVC de 2 polegadas para coleta dos sedimentos provenientes da estrada propriamente dita. Nos tambores coletores foram feitos orifícios nivelados e perfeitamente iguais, posicionados a 0,65 m do fundo do primeiro e a 0,60 m do fundo do segundo, que funcionaram como um divisor Geib. Nas parcelas de 20 e 40 m de comprimento foram feitos cinco e sete orifícios, respectivamente, no primeiro e segundo tambores. O terceiro tambor foi utilizado para coletar o excedente da enxurrada proveniente do segundo tambor. Os tambores foram ligados em série, através de cano PVC de 2 polegadas. Os dados de volume e intensidade de precipitação diária foram obtidos com a instalação de pluviômetro e pluviógrafo no local. O período de coleta de dados foi de um ano, concentrando-se na época das chuvas. Posteriormente, os arquivos de clima, precipitação, solo, inclinação e comprimento do segmento foram introduzidos e adaptados ao modelo de predição de erosão WEPP com o propósito de testá-lo, visando a confecção de um modelo apropriado às condições brasileiras.
