Comparing MCDM methods with RUSLE and EPM models for erosion risk assessment and sub-watershed prioritization in semi-arid mountainous terrain
Soil erosion threatens the sustainability of semi-arid watersheds. Sub-watersheds are routinely ranked for intervention, yet the reliability of those ranks is rarely quantified. This study assesses erosion risk across the 3,288 km² Al Khazer River Watershed in northern Iraq and measures the stability of the resulting p...
