Due to agricultural expansion in the last decades, there was a considerable reduction of the Brazilian Biomes. The Bioma Cerrado, specifically, has lost 42% of its original vegetation for agricultural activities (SANO et al.,2002) , resulting in irreparable environmental damage depending on the degree of environmental degradation. Therefore the present study is to apply the EUPS - Equation Universal Soil Loss (Wischmeier & Smith, 1978) to qualitatively identify areas susceptible to erosion laminar in the city of Riachão das Neves- BA. The municipality is part of the agricultural hub of the west of Bahia in recent decades witnessed the advancement of agriculture in the region while the reduction of vegetation in places that should be preserved, especially along watercourses, thus accelerating the erosion process. Keywords: USLE, Topographic Factor, Use and Occupation of the Land.Downloads
