| Summary: | This investigation has been carried out at Badinska River watershed - one of
the most famous torrents in Bulgaria. The purpose of the survey is tos
analyse the main erosion factors and erosion potential of territories, with
a view to assess soil erosion risk and opportunity of high water formation
from watershed. A methodical approach for determination and mapping of the
territories in terms of the class of erosion risk with the use of GIS is
applied. Assessments are made according to the “Methodology for preparing
the national long term programme for protection against erosion and flooding
in forestlands”. The total assessment for Badinska river watershed is “low
to moderate” potential risk and “very low to low” actual erosion risk. About
of 5% of the forest stock territory is with “moderate” and “moderate to
high” actual risk, and the biggest part of this territory (about 63%) is in
the main stream watershed above the Yaloviko tributary. |
