The Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) is a daily simulation model which outputs average soil loss and deposition values for selected areas and periods of time. It is applicable to just one field, or can be applied to a few adjacent fields.
Causes of erosion. Erosion occurs when soil is left exposed to rain or wind energy. Raindrops hit. exposed soil with great energy and easily dislodge the soil particles from the surface. In this way, raindrops remove a thin ï¬lm of soil from the land surface and create. what is termed sheet erosion.
