Assessment of sediment yield in the Tronosa river basin of Montenegro

Soil erosion is one of the physical indicators of land degradation occurrence and is a growing problem to environment. We studied erosion processes in the Tronosa watershed. The most common soil types in the watershed are: Dystric Cambisols, Kalkomelanosol, Eutric Cambisols, Fluvisols and Colluvial Fluvisols. According to our analyses Qmax was 216 m3s-1 and there is possibility for large flood waves to appear in the basin. Net soil losses were calculated on 8465 m3year-1, specific 286 m3km.2year-1. This study shows that IntErO model is a useful tool for calculation of sediment yield in this Region.
