Abstract: The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model describes the processes that lead to soil erosion by water. WEPP was developed cooperatively by the USDA-ARS, -NRCS, and Forest Service during the past 12 years. WEPP predicts the distribution of erosion on a hillslope as well as the runoff amount and sediment yield from each storm that occurs during a multiyear period. For every storm, WEPP calculates the infiltration and runoff, and soil detachment, transport, deposition, and delivery from the bottom of the hillside. Each day plants grow, transpire, and/or senesce, while plant residue on the soil surface accumulates and decomposes.
