which in turn, results in excessive soil loss. GIS-based Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation
(RUSLE), applied in such a case, underestimates soil loss since such near vertical surfaces
are not completely projected in orthorectified satellite images. This paper introduces a" hill
cut factor (H f)", which is input into the cover management factor of RUSLE model. Model is
validated with observed soil loss data of a mini hilly urban watershed located in Japorigog …
