In addition to the implementation of the factors of the RUSLE model,
DEMMS software can be used to predict soil losses and water erosion risk on
the micro-basin level by taking into consideration the processes of sediment
transfer to existing dams and lakes.

2. Findings

With the integration of DEMMS and the RUSLE equation, the water erosion
rate was calculated at the national scale. The potential erosion maps were
created with the parameters in the RUSLE equation. The detailed minute-by-
minute rainfall data, regularly recorded with 812 AWOS across the country by
the MGM, were calculated for all provinces, and R map was created.
