MODERN CARTOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF IRRIGATED LAND EROSION IN CENTRAL FERGANA

Abstract

In this article, the state of soil erosion of irrigated lands in the territory of Central Fergana was assessed based on modern cartographic technologies. Based on satellite images of Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2, digital terrain models (DEM), and NDVI indices, erosion risk zones were identified and modeled in a GIS environment. Using the RUSLE model, the values of soil loss were calculated and the location of high-risk zones was mapped. The results are important in the development of effective agrotechnical measures against land degradation and provide a scientific basis for decision-making on territorial planning and resource management.
