Abstract

Water erosion in Mexico generates a large number of issues, such as: loss of soil for crops, loss of nutrients, accumulation of sediment in urban zones, sedimentation in channels and reservoirs, and loss of capacity in hydraulic structures. A National Map of Water Erosion is created based on the most current information. This map is expected to enable the identification of regions susceptible of water erosion, so that conservation plans can be implemented, along with other mitigation measures, in regions where soil loss is high or extreme.
