Determ<strong>in</strong>ation of monthly sediment yieldThe monthly watershed sediment yield <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> GWLF is determ<strong>in</strong>ed from a model that isbased on three assumptions:(i)(ii)(iii)Sediment orig<strong>in</strong>ates from sheet and rill erosion (gully andstream bank erosion are neglected)Sediment transport capacity is proportional to runoff to <strong>the</strong>5/3 powerSediment yields are produced from soil which erodes <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>current year (no carryover of sediment supply from one yearto <strong>the</strong> next)Accord<strong>in</strong>gly, <strong>the</strong> sediment yield <strong>in</strong> a certa<strong>in</strong> month will consist of contributions from allo<strong>the</strong>r months dur<strong>in</strong>g that year. The contribution from each month will be equal to <strong>the</strong>sediment yield for that month multiplied by <strong>the</strong> fraction of total transport capacity <strong>in</strong>that month (Dai et al., 2001).The total watershed sediment supply generated <strong>in</strong> month j is:Xj= DRj∑∑kdXkt(D1)t=1whereDR = watershed sediment delivery ratioX kt = erosion from land use k on day t [Mg]d j = number of days <strong>in</strong> month jErosion from land use k on day t is given by:Xkt= 0 .132 ⋅ RE ⋅ K ⋅ ( LS)⋅C⋅ P ⋅ AR(D2)tkkkkkwhereRE t = ra<strong>in</strong>fall erosivity on day t [(MJ*mm)/(ha/h)]K k = soil erodibility factor(LS) k = topographic factorC k = cover and management factorP k = support<strong>in</strong>g practice factorThe product K*LS*C*P is called <strong>the</strong> erosion factor. Standard values for K, C and P fordifferent land uses and soil types can be found <strong>in</strong> tables <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bas<strong>in</strong>Sim User’s Guide(Dai et al., 2000). LS is determ<strong>in</strong>ed from data on topography. Ra<strong>in</strong>fall erosivity isestimated by <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g empirical equation:RE1.81t= 64.6⋅ at⋅ Rt(D3)33
