- Abstract
The article presents a discussion concerning the misrepresentation of the USLE concerning sediment delivery. It has been noted by the author that the assertion that the application of the USLE to predicting soil losses within a catchment or watershed is not sound because the USLE provides an estimate of erosion that would be measured if the entire area were divided up into 22.1 meter long plots. In addition, the slope length factor was derived from data obtained using a wide range of plot lengths.
