摘要 Water erosion is a natural fact in the cycle of shaping the earth’s landforms and the most evident form of land degradation on a planetary scale <a href="#R20">(Roose & De Noni, 2004;</a> <a href="#R08">Dautrebande & Sohier, 2006;</a> <a href="#R25">Toumi et al., 2013;</a> <a href="#R03">Azaiez, 2020a)</a>. Its effects have largely affected the rural landscape. Although it is the result of an ancient and primeval climatic and tectonic forcing, man’s footprint in its intensification remains a reality. A real awareness of this problem on the part of scientists is reflected in the many studies on understanding the risks. Experiments have been carried out, equations and models have been developed with the aim of preserving the soil. The watershed of wadi El Badalah, the subject of this study, is not excluded from this risk. The present research is a new comparative contribution to the quantification of soil loss based on four empirical models (Universal Soil Loss Equation USLE, Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation RUSLE, Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation MUSLE and the adjuste Water erosion is a natural fact in the cycle of shaping the earth’s landforms and the most evident form of land degradation on a planetary scale <a href="#R20">(Roose & De Noni, 2004;</a> <a href="#R08">Dautrebande & Sohier, 2006;</a> <a href="#R25">Toumi et al., 2013;</a> <a href="#R03">Azaiez, 2020a)</a>.
