Abstract:

Topographic surface modeling using a Geographic Information System (GIS) can be useful for the prediction of soil erosion resulting from highway construction projects. The assumption is that terrain, along with other parameters, will influence the potential for soil erosion in a given area. Disturbance of the surface in highway construction will result in soil erosion and deposition, a source of pollution for streams and lakes. Modeling these various parameters with a GIS can provide an analysis tool for determining the potential for erosion while construction is in the planning stage, thereby minimizing the deleterious effects of construction on water quality. The authors have designed and implemented a GIS based system which allows for predictive modeling of erosion potential. The system allows for the consideration of erosion prevention products such as straw and other mulches as well as other types of cover products designed to prevent or minimize erosion from construction practices. The use of this system will allow for effective decisions concerning erosion control before construction has begun and erosion damage has already occurred. References; 138p.
