The Application of Remote Sensing and GIS Technology to Erosion Risk Mapping
Erosion is one of the major problems in Nigeria and Lagos State in particular. The objectives of this research are to identify land use/land cover changes in Eti-Osa LGA and estimate actual erosion risk using Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model. In addition, this research evaluates th...

Erosion is one of the major problems in Nigeria and Lagos State in particular.

The result showed that the sediment yield of the study was estimated to be between 0 to 48 ton/ha/yr.
