Minimizing water erosion risk on agricultural lands
Abstract
This article offers a method to minimize the risk of erosion due to such distribution of agricultural crops on technological areas, which compensates erosion hazard of these areas by soil protection properties of agricultural crops. The method is based on distribution task of optimization, adapted to the chain of sequence discrete solutions. GIS technology for informational support of such problems is developed. The method makes it possible to implement an automated optimal distribution of rotations between specific plots of land, taking into account the spatial differentiation of erosion hazard. The paper presents the results of the method as mapping of erosion hazard assessment and optimal location of crop rotations, which ensures minimal risk of erosion.
