Description :
The aim of this study was to develop a dynamic version of the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model based on kinematic wave routing of runoff and the WEPP source terms equation for erosion coded with a fully dynamic solution. Sediment yield dynamics were plotted and compared with experimental results for plots and hillslope. Effects of cover and canopy on the predicted sediment yields were well represented by the model. DWEPP provides a new tool for assessing erosion rates and dynamics.
