Technical Abstract: The main objective of the Water Erosion Prediction Project is to develop a new generation of erosion prediction technology. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the erosion model used in the WEPP hillslope profile technology. The governing equations for sediment continuity, detachment, deposition, shear stress in rills, and transport capacity are presented. The normalized forms of the equations and parameters, the means for characterizing downslope spatial variability, and solution methods are discussed.
