Abstract:
To develop a simple road sediment delivery tool, the WEPP program modeled sedimentation
from forest roads for more than 50,000 combinations of distance between cross drains, road gradient,
soil texture, distance from stream, steepness of the buffer between the road and the stream, and
climate. The sediment yield prediction from each of these runs was stored in a data file. Two
computer interfaces were developed to access the results either from a Windows operating system or over the Internet.
Methods are presented to apply these results to road planning and environmental analysis.
