RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation)

The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is a scientific tool used to estimate how much soil is likely to be washed away from land over time due to factors like rainfall, topography, and land use. It considers things like how heavy the rain is, how steep and hilly the land is, how ground cover or vegetation protects the soil, and land management practices. RUSLE helps land managers and farmers predict erosion risks, so they can implement measures to protect the soil, maintain land productivity, and prevent environmental problems like sedimentation in waterways.
