| Abstract | Gully erosion is one of the main natural hazards, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, destroying ecosystem service and human well-being. Thus, gully erosion susceptibility maps (GESM) are urgently needed for identifying priority areas on which appropriate measurements should be considered. Here, we proposed four new hybrid Machine learning models, namely weight of evidence -Multilayer Perceptron (MLP- WoE), weight of evidence –K Nearest neighbours (KNN- WoE), weight of evidence - Logistic regression (LR- WoE), and weight of evidence - Random Forest (RF- WoE), for mapping gully erosion exploring the opportunities of GIS tools and Remote sensing techniques in the El Ouaar watershed located in the Souss plain in Morocco. Inputs of the developed models are composed of the dependent (i.e., gully erosion points) and a set of independent variables. In this study, a total of 314 gully erosion points were randomly split into 70% for the training stage (220 gullies) and 30% for the validation stage (94 gullies) sets were identified in the study area. 12 conditioning variables including elevation, slope, plane curvature, rainfall, distance to road, distance to stream, distance to fault, TWI, lithology, NDVI, and LU/LC were used based on their importance for gully erosion susceptibility mapping. We evaluate the performance of the above models based on the following statistical metrics: Accuracy, precision, and Area under curve (AUC) values of receiver operating characteristics (ROC). The results indicate the RF- WoE model showed good accuracy with (AUC = 0.8), followed by KNN-WoE (AUC = 0.796), then MLP-WoE (AUC = 0.729) and LR-WoE (AUC = 0.655), respectively. Gully erosion susceptibility maps provide information and valuable tool for decision-makers and planners to identify areas where urgent and appropriate interventions should be applied. |
