Evaluating the effectiveness of GIS and spatial data in watershed modeling of erosion prone areas in Odogbolu watershed Department:Civil Engineering By: Feeby12 Project ID: 9030 Rating: (5.0) votes: 1 Price:₦4000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractEstimation of the sediment yield and sediment concentration in a watershed is critical to the sustainable management of water resources at the watershed level in any region. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of GIS and hydrological modelling tools for the identification of erosion-prone areas in the Odogbolu watershed. The methodology involved the input of spatial and temporal data into the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) using Geographic Information System (GIS) as an interface. After the model was configured, set up and run, the sediment yield and sediment concentration were predicted, and the erosion hotspots were identified. The modelling results showed that the areas had the low, medium, high and extreme erosion categories. The outcome of this study can serve as a decision support tool for water professionals in the study area....Preview Download Preview +Other Civil Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Comparing the compressive strength of concrete made with sand as fine aggregate and with chipping dust as fine aggregate»The comparative study of the compressive strength of concrete made with granite to that made with river round stone (pebble) and local stone»The use of computer in civil engineering»Importance of timber in civil engineering construction»Construction of wardrobe key study on wood work»Construction and Installation of a Panel Door»Effect of street trading on traffic performance and control»Comparison of soil bearing capacity of different locations in Imo state»Assessment of different types of foundation and their mode of construction»Investigation into the suitability of sand and gravel materials commonly used in building construction»Investigating the effect of partial replacement of cement with eggshell powder in concrete production»An investigation in to the causes of cracks in building and possible solutions - a case study of Kukar Gesa community in Katsina metropolis»Suitability of available laterite material in Ilorin East local government area for road construction»Compressive strength variation between three brands of Portland cement ashaka, Bua and Dangote cement»Determination of the causes, effects of environmental pollution and its possible control within Kwara and Osun state
