Compute Wind and Water Erosion

Calculate Wind Erosion

To compute the index of land susceptibility to wind erosion and wind erosion factors, select the erosion1 option on the service menu bar and follow these simple stesps.

  1. Click on the windbtn option on the indicator menu options for the layer settings pannel to pop-up as shown below. Select the wind erosion factor to compute or the wind erosion sensitivity index from the ‘WIND EROSION SENSITIVITY’ list of options
