Erosion Prediction Program
The Stormwater industry in California needs an application that will easily determine the soil loss (erosion) inputting existing conditions for construction project, this is exactly that. As you dive further into the application you will be required to input data into various fields. Below we have created a "glossary" for said fields to make this process clearer.
Dictionary
- Segment
- Segment of a larger project. A project subsite.
- R factor
- Rainfall erosivity factor.
- K factor
- Soil erodibility.
- Length (ft)
- Length of the segment
- Steepness (%)
- Grade of the segment.
- Segment Coverings
- Coverings being used in a segment.
- Segment BMPs
- Segment BMPs = Best management practices being used in a segment.
