Tunisia is a country with a largely semi-arid climate, where water resources represent a limiting factor for economic development. The south and centre of the country, where arid and semi-arid bioclimatic zones predominate, are the areas most affected by water erosion. This phenomenon is present in the El Mouassat catchment, located south-west of the city of Sfax, in the Mahares district. The main objective of this study is to estimate the water erosion parameters of the USLE model (Universal Soil Loss Equation) using ArcGIS, in order to quantify soil loss and produce a map of water erosion in the catchment area. This will enable the identification of priority areas for anti-erosion measures and the development of a catchment management plan.
