Identification of Resources Problems Russia

Such runoff and rainfall events with 10–20 years return period produce 70–80% of the total long-term sheet and rill erosion. The erosion rates for the Russia were calculated on 1980 and on 2012. The Universal Loss Equation (Wischmeier and Smith 1978) was used to calculate loss from rainfall.
