The scientists compared different models to predict soil erosion and sediment yield in Pairi Watershed, India. They used Remote Sensing and GIS to map erosion rates and sediment flow. By analyzing factors like rainfall, soil type, and land use, they found that the RUSLE model was best for soil erosion and the MUSLE model for sediment yield in the area.
