Forest Service - Watershed Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) Interfaces

FS WEPP is a set of interfaces designed to allow users to quickly evaluate erosion and sediment delivery potential from forest roads. The erosion rates and sediment delivery are predicted by the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model, using input values for forest conditions developed by scientists at the Rocky Mountain Research Station.

Inputs

User-selected climate station, soil type, soil texture, road design, and buffer lengths

Outputs

Estimated rates of road erosion and sediment delivery based on different road building scenarios
