Abstract
Land erosion is an increasing problem that is seriously affecting our country in recent years. During the period October-March on certain low areas of the country there is massive flooding, and on the hills and certain mountainous territories there is a large amount of land and surface erosion. The erosion phenomenon is larger near habitated zones, where the amount of damage is greater and occurs over large areas. One of the areas in our country affected by this phenomenon is the District of Lezha, which has become a periodic flooding zone due to its geographical position. The main purpose of this study is to define the distribution of the erosion rating relative to the covered area based on, vegetation, chute tilt and precipitation indices. This study should provide information and guidance on land usage to farmers, communities and state regulatory officials, pertinent to agrarian properties and woodland surfaces.
