Digital point data of pass locations of Kailash Sacred Landscape in Nepal.

High levels of water-induced erosion in the transboundary Himalayan river basins are contributing to substantial changes in basin hydrology and inundation. Basin-wide information on erosion dynamics is needed for conservation planning, but field-based studies are limited. Part of the remote sensing (RS) and a geographic information system (GIS) based soil erosion estimation and spatial distribution of across the entire Koshi basin, a land cover data of 2000 used as a Support practice factor (PL). Land cover data for 2000 were prepared from analysis of the Landsat images using object-based image analysis.

High levels of water-induced erosion in the transboundary Himalayan river basins are contributing to substantial changes in basin hydrology and inundation. Basin-wide information on erosion dynamics is needed for conservation planning, but field-based studies are limited. This study used remote sensing (RS) data and a geographic information system (GIS) to estimate the spatial distribution of soil erosion across the entire Koshi basin. The revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) was used in an ArcGIS environment with rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, slope length and steepness, cover-management, and support practice factors as primary parameters. The estimated annual erosion from the basin was around 42 million tonnes.
