Evaluating the MEFIDIS model for runoff and soil erosion prediction during rainfall events

Within-watershed simulated runoff in Lucky Hills 103 compared well with measured results. In Ganspoel, the simulated erosion patterns did not compare well with observed patterns; however, simulated erosion sources were located inside the fields where erosion features were observed, and within a distance of 65 m. The model has therefore the potential to predict sediment sources inside a catchment, but the high resolution results should be used only as an indicator.
