Study of Soil Erosion Risk in the Basin of Northern Al-Kabeer River in Lattakia using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) Techniques
The soil water erosionrisk is the most importantchallenges facingthe agricultural processinthe Syrian coastat the present time, especially those areas surrounding rivers and water leaks. This study aims to produce soil erosion risk map based on Coo Rdination of Information on the Environment (CORINE) model for the near and middle basin part of the Northern Al- Kabeer River (Lattakia province). To achieve this objective, the first phase of the study evaluates the soil erosion viability by estimating soil texture, Soil depth and stoniness percent. Consequently, soil erosion viabilities were classified according to its influencing degree in soil erosion.
