Soil Erosion and Sediment Delivery Model (SESDM)

The Soil Erosion and Sediment Delivery Model (SESDM) is a tool used by scientists and land managers to understand how soil is eroded from the land and transported to waterways. It analyzes factors like rainfall, land use, and topography to predict how much soil erosion occurs in a given area and how much sediment reaches rivers and lakes. By using this model, researchers can develop strategies to reduce erosion, protect water quality, and manage land sustainably, ultimately preserving the environment and resources for future generations.
