3.2 Factor R evaluation
In the scope of our study, we utilized meteorological data concerning daily precipitation over an extensive period from 1990 to 2020. Our objective was to evaluate the trends of average annual and monthly precipitation over time in the studied region.
To delve deeper into our analysis, we employed a specific formula known as the erosivity formula. This formula enabled us to quantify the potential impact of precipitation on soil erosion. Understanding soil erosion is crucial as it can have significant implications for agriculture, land management, and environmental conservation.
By applying this formula, we obtained a critical parameter known as the ”R-value,” expressed in megajoules per millimeter per hectare per year (MJ.mm/ha.year). In our case, this R-value was found to be equal to 67.18. This value represents the energy intensity of precipitation and its erosive potential on an annual basis.
Thus, our study provided valuable insights into precipitation patterns and their capacity to induce soil erosion in the region over the past three decades. These findings can be utilized to inform land and water management policies and to develop soil conservation strategies and erosion prevention measures.
