Water Erosion Risk

Water Erosion Risk This map displays the risk of soil degradation by water in the agricultural region of Alberta. Water erosion is a concern because it reduces soil quality by removing soil particles and nutrients, and reduces water quality if these particles are carried into nearby water bodies. The map uses five classes to describe the water erosion risk on bare, unprotected mineral soil: negligible, low, moderate, high and severe.This resource was created using ArcGIS, originally published as a print map in 1993 . 2022-09-27 Government of Alberta duke@gov.ab.ca Economics and IndustryInformation and CommunicationsNature and EnvironmentALBERTADOWNLOADABLE-DATAGEOSCIENTIFICINFORMATIONINLANDWATERSLOSSES-FROM-SOILRAIN-EROSIONRUNOFF-WATERSEDIMENTATIONGovernment information Water Erosion RiskESRI REST https://geospatial.alberta.ca/titan/rest/services/agriculture/Agricultural_Land_Resource_Atlas/MapServer/21 Water Erosion RiskESRI REST https://geospatial.alberta.ca/titan/rest/services/agriculture/Agricultural_Land_Resource_Atlas/MapServer/21 Water Erosion Risk - (HTML)HTML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/c4224bbe08cb49299ead1bb590e125d8/html Water Erosion RiskWMS https://geospatial.alberta.ca/titan/services/agriculture/agricultural_land_resource_atlas/MapServer/WMSServer?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain&layers=Water Erosion Risk Water Erosion RiskWMS https://geospatial.alberta.ca/titan/services/agriculture/agricultural_land_resource_atlas/MapServer/WMSServer?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain&layers=Water Erosion Risk Water Erosion Risk - (XML)XML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/c4224bbe08cb49299ead1bb590e125d8/xml Contains SHP and KMZ for Water Erosion Risk dataset (From Alberta Geodiscorver Portal metadata)other https://extranet.gov.ab.ca/srd/geodiscover/srd_pub/AG_FOR/LandResourceAtlas/Water_Erosion_Risk.zip Dataset (From Alberta Geodiscorver Portal metadata)other https://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/agdex10314 Alberta GeoportalHTML https://open.alberta.ca/opendata/bd71df53-543d-4359-9d17-8f1bb3b5ab90
