Rainfall erosivity represents the potential of rainfall causing soil erosion. The EI30 index is a method to determine rainfall erosivity and is calculated by the product of the total kinetic energy of rainfall and the maximum intensity in 30 min. The objective of this study was to calculate rainfall erosivity in Uruguaiana, RS, Brazil, for practical applications in soil conservation, based on daily rainfall charts. For each rainfall chart, segments with the same intensity were separated, registered in worksheets, digitalized and […]
