    Using the Universal Soil Loss Equation, the document estimates soil loss from a contoured field with a 6% slope to be 90 mg/ha-year. It then asks whether constructing terraces with graded outlets in addition to contouring would reduce soil loss, implying that adding terraces would further decrease erosion from the field.

    I. ESTIMATE OF EROSION USING THE UNIVERSAL SOIL LOSS EQUATION


    (USLE)
    (Provide a Brief Introduction)

    II. OBJECTIVE

    1. To use the Universal Soil Loss Equation in estimating erosion in a given


    watershed.

    III. PROBLEM

    Use the USLE to compute the amount of soil loss (mg/ha-year) from a contoured field at
    your present location (R= 3000). Assume a slope of 6 percent, C = 0.2, and K = 0.03
    Mg/ha-year with a slope length of 150 m.

    If aside from contouring, terraces with graded outlets will be also constructed, will there
    be a reduction in soil loss? Explain your answer.

    IV. RESULTS
