Abstract: Excerpts from the Preface: This report assesses impacts of soil erosion on land and water quality. Physical, economic, and social impacts of sediment reduction are evaluated. The major study thrust is to provide basic data needed to develop sediment reduction plans and to implement Section 208 of Public Law 92-500. The study is oriented to the agricultural elements of non-point sources of sediments and other pollutants. Range and forest areas are evaluated and discussed in less detail because soil losses on these lands are much less significant. Basin forests are located primarily in the State of Idaho. Therefore, forestry data on the Idaho-Palouse is shown in a separate chapter to better meet Idaho’s water quality data needs.
