Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation

RUSLE2 (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) is a modeling software developed by the United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service and is an exceptionally useful tool for construction stormwater management. This training video guides engineers and design professionals in quantifying anticipated soil loss over time and identifying the specific site characteristics most vulnerable to soil loss. By highlighting these high-risk areas, the tutorial helps professionals develop more effective Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) through targeted erosion prevention and sediment control measures. Ultimately, RUSLE2 serves as an ideal tool when site-specific computations are required or when construction activities are planned near Exceptional Tennessee Waters.
