Erosion & Sedimentation

Soil erosion and sedimentation are among the leading causes of watershed degradation. They also cause reduced reservoir capacity and declining agricultural productivity. At Geospatial Research Limited (GRL), we apply advanced geospatial technologies, remote sensing, and hydrological modeling to analyze, map, and mitigate these processes. We provide expert Erosion and Sedimentation Control Nigeria services for diverse landscapes in Lagos, Abuja, and across the country.

Through Digital Elevation Model (DEM) analysis, SWAT modeling, and satellite data interpretation, we provide a comprehensive understanding of sediment transport dynamics and their long-term impacts on water and land resources. Specifically, our focus is on identifying high-risk areas before significant damage occurs. This ensures proactive land management.

Our Comprehensive Erosion and Sedimentation Control Services

Our capabilities include:

• Identifying Erosion Hotspots: We use high-resolution terrain analysis, soil erodibility, and rainfall erosivity indices to pinpoint areas most susceptible to erosion.

• Predictive Modeling: We model sediment yield, deposition, and transport within catchments and river systems. This enables us to predict and manage sediment loads. Consequently, water authorities can make informed decisions regarding dredging and reservoir maintenance.

• Designing Rehabilitation Strategies: We design catchment rehabilitation and soil conservation strategies. These include reforestation, buffer zones, terracing, and best management practices (BMPs). Furthermore, these plans focus on sustainable, long-term land stability.

• Integrated Land Restoration: We integrate field measurements with geospatial and hydrological models. This produces accurate, location-specific solutions for erosion control and land restoration. This ensures high accuracy and practical implementation in the challenging terrains found across Nigeria.

• Agricultural Support: We provide dedicated support for sustainable agricultural production through better soil and water conservation practices. This is a critical component of national food security.

Commitment to Watershed Resilience

By combining scientific modeling with practical land management interventions, GRL helps governments, water agencies, and environmental planners minimize land degradation, protect water infrastructure, and enhance catchment resilience. Our solutions improve reservoir lifespan, maintain water quality, and support sustainable agricultural productivity.

At GRL, we are committed to advancing data-driven watershed management that promotes environmental sustainability, climate resilience, and long-term productivity of vital ecosystems.
