主 题:SWAT agricultural land sediment yield land use change scenarios
摘 要:The purpose of this paper is to implement "Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)" model to examine the effects of land use change scenarios; associated with crop rotations and special cultivation techniques most susceptible to erosion; exert on runoff discharge and sediment yield from Song Cau catchment in Northern Viet Nam. All scenarios' simulations resulted in a decrease of soil losses and sediment yield comparing to the current land use status. SWAT successfully predicted soil losses from different HRUs that caused significant sediment yield, and it predicted explicitly the consequences of non-structural mitigation measures against erosion.
