Abstract

Soil erosion from cropland contributes significantly to reducing storage capacity in reservoirs. A model is developed for comparing economic desirability of various catchment level soil conservation practices. Results from an illustrative case study show that prevention of sediment accumulation can be much more economical than sediment removal at the reservoir level.
