Abstract

Two geographically different areas were identified to apply the (RAC/PAP) model to estimate potential water erosion, which are the Wadi Ferran Basin and the Wadi El Baroud Basin. A map of soil susceptibility to erosion was prepared by producing, analyzing, and producing an elevation map, a map of slope categories and directions, and a map of soil types.
It became clear from the study that the prevailing highland areas in the study area are the areas most exposed to water erosion, due to the scarcity of vegetation cover and the prevalence of steep and very steep slopes, while the possibility of low and very low erosion is linked to the flat-surfaced areas exploited agriculturally at the mouths and valleys of the valleys and the coastal plain.
