Prediction of sediment yield of the Inxu River catchment (South Africa) using the MUSLE

The proposed site for the construction of a new dam (Laleni Dam) on the Tsitsa River in the Eastern Cape, South Africa falls within a high soil erosion zone, which is expected to affect the lifespan of the dam. Estimating the sediment yield of the catchment is important from a management perspective...
