Erosion and Sediment Yields At Construction Site-A Case Study

In the civil engineering point of view, soil erosion can be defined as a transitioning of soil particles position that is caused by water and wind source. It is essentially the smoothing process of soil grains, where these grains are transported and deposited by the force of water, wind, and gravity...
