Multi Criteria Evaluation using Rank Sum Methods and Weighted Overlay Analysis Using
Raster Calculator in ArcGIS 9.2
Where wj is the normalized weight for the jth criterion, n is the number of criteria under
consideration (j=1, 2… n), rj is the rank position of the criterion. Each criterion is weighted
(n-rj+1) and then normalized by the sum of weights, that is, Σ (n-rj+1).
Rainfall Factor
Vegetation Factor
. Soil erosion potential is increased if the soil has no
or very little vegetative cover of plants and/or crop
residues. Plant and residue cover protects the soil
from raindrop impact and splash, tends to slow down
the movement of surface runoff and allows excess
surface water to infiltrate.
