Prediksi Laju Erosi dan Valuasi Ekonomi pada Area Reklamasi Pertambangan Batu Bara

Mining activities had positive and negative impacts on the environment. Erosion is one of the negative impacts that must be managed. This research carried out due to the problem of different predicted erosion and the actual condition in one of the reclamation areas of PT X.
