Development of Prediction Techniques for Soil Loss and Sediment Transport at Army Training Areas.

Abstract

This report describes the selection of analytic techniques for predicting physical land degradation that results from training activities at Army installations. The nature of this degradation in terms of soil loss and sediment transport is discussed, and the processes and various analytic techniques used to model them are examined. Techniques judged suitable for predicting physical degradation of Army lands are identified. These techniques will be integrated into a comprehensive computer-based analytic tool for use at Army installations.
