Choice of appropriate conservation practices depends on accurate quantification of the magnitude of damage. Variability across a toposequence on catchment level makes assessment studies technically difficult and economically not feasible. However, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) can capture spatial variability. A GIS-based Universal Soil Loss Model was initialized and used in this study to 1) validate the predicative capacity of the initialized GIS USLE model across the major land uses and soil types in the microcatchment, 2) Quantify the on-site damage in terms of soil loss, soil structure deterioration and nutrient loss. Run-off plot approach was used to collect runoff and sediment for soil and nutrient loss quantification. USLE parameters were obtained from: mean annual rainfall, soils map, Topomap, aerial photographs and satellite images using modeling operations in ILWIS. Applicability of the GIS-based USLE was demonstrated but calibration is essential. Land use had stronger influence on soil loss than slope.
