About this app

Software application with classifiers developed using Discriminant Analysis, an Artificial Intelligence technique, on data used for modeling soil loss in the Peixe Angical basin. This application allows for the estimation of the risk of water erosion in the mentioned basin. This estimation is represented by qualitative classification based on information on rainfall erosivity (R Factor), soil erodibility (K Factor), topographic factor (LS Factor), and soil cover and management (C Factor). The P Factor does not need to be informed, as it was considered equal to 1, meaning no conservation practices, which is the most critical situation for soil losses. Therefore, the application provides recommendations, which should be based on field observations, related to mechanical soil conservation practices. It is expected that the application will reach professionals from various fields of knowledge and contribute to the advancement of research in the country.
