Effect of soil erosion causing negative impact on ecosystem services and food security is well known. On the other hand there can be yearly variation of total precipitation received in an area, with the presence of extreme rains. To assess annual erosion rates various empirical models have been extensively used in all the climatic regions. While these models are simple to operate and do not require lot of input data, the effect of extreme rain is not taken into account. Although physically based models are available to simulate erosion processes including particle detachment, transportation and deposition of sediments during a storm they are not applicable for assessing annual soil loss rates. Moreover storm event data may not be available everywhere prohibiting their extensive use.
