The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE)

The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is a tool used to predict soil erosion caused by rainfall and land use. It estimates the amount of soil loss by considering factors such as rainfall intensity, soil type, topography, vegetation cover, and land management practices. By understanding these factors, RUSLE helps farmers, land planners, and conservationists develop strategies to reduce soil erosion, maintain soil health, and protect ecosystems. Essentially, it's a scientific method to measure and manage soil erosion effectively, promoting sustainable land use.
