Soil erosion depletes the productive layer of soil which is an ultimate resource for all agricultural activities. Since erosion rate varies with watershed characteristics, a study of soil and water dynamics at a watershed level can facilitate a scientific approach toward their conservation and management. The study involves obtaining peak runoff and input parameters (K,LS,C & P) of Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE) integrating GIS platform to estimate soil loss of Tonshyal micro watershed which lies between 16º 30’- 16º 45’ latitudes and 75º 30’- 75º 45’ longitudes with area of 269.42 ha, watershed code of 4D7A5E2. The base map and thematic maps were prepared using Survey of India toposheet No. 47 P/10 with scale of 1:50000 in a QGIS environment. The study area contains Very deep (>150 cm), Clay soils occurring on very gently sloping (1-3%), Clay soils occupy in entire micro-watershed. The calculated data and factors that were considered in the present study summarized and applied in MUSLE model for estimating annual soil loss.
