Soil erosion and land degradation are considered serious problems, in order to implement soil erosion protection and control programs and reduce sedimentation, it is necessary to evaluate the total volume of sediment load and the intensity of erodibility in watersheds. according to this, the main goal of this study is to evaluate the amount of soil erosion using an experimental model, the Erosion Potential Model (EPM). The studied area is Chehlgezi subbasin of Kurdistan province as one of the water supply sub-basins of Qeshlaq Dam. In this research, by using ArcGIS software, a map of soil erosion coefficients (observation), rock and soil sensitivity, basin slope, land use and erosion intensity was prepared respectively, and then using the existing coefficients as well as the temperature and rainfall coefficients of the region. , the erosion map of the entire basin was prepared based on the instructions of the model. The results of the study showed that the classification of erosion risk in the basin has four conditions: low, medium, severe and very severe, and 63.49% of the sub-basin is in the state of high and very high erosion risk. Finally, the proposed erosion risk map with the mentioned model can help researchers and decision makers in designing and implementing effective soil and water management interventions in the study area, in addition to the wealth of studies in the sub-basin.
