Abstract
Using empirical model is one of the approaches of evaluating sediment yield. This research is aimed at predicting erosion and sedimentation in the (Dari to) basin in the west of Sulaymaniyah at Kurdistan Region, Iraq used EPM (erosion potential model) incorporating into GIS (geographic information system) software. This basin area is of this basin is about 336 km2. It has a range of vegetation, slope, geological, soil texture and land use types.
