Prediction of erosion using the USLE method in the Malino Sub Watershed

Year: 2021

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: One of the problems that occur in the Sub DAS Malino is population growth. The increase in population in an area will increase demand to encourage the community to convert forest land into non-forest land, especially agricultural land. It has an impact on erosion and flooding during the rainy season. The amount of erosion that occurs can result in damage and a decrease in soil quality; therefore, it is necessary to predict erosion using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) method. This study aims to determine the level of erosion hazard in the Malino sub-watershed, Jeneberang watershed. The data used in this study include data on land cover, rainfall, soil, and slope. The results showed that Sub DAS Malino has high erosion on the open land cover with 800.02 ton/ha/year of 0.44% area of the Sub DAS Malino.
