IV. CONCLUSION:
GIS and Remote Sensing techniques are efficient tool in
modeling surface runoff path and soil erosion potential
classes/zones. Study proves that GIS technology is
implementable in local terrain of Kabeerdham District for
Modeling Runoff path and Soil Erosion in Catchment Area.
The complexities presented in terrain makes it difficult for in
point of its feasibility for manual survey for calculation of soil
erosion potential and runoff. Adapted methodology follows
USLE calculation is proving its capacity for modeling soil
erosion potential areas and run-off path for surface water flow.
