Abstract
Soil erosion is still one of the most important land problems and it is linked to land use and land
cover changes. These have negative effects on land resource which ultimately affects agricultural
productivity and water quality. Local monitoring systems constitute an almost compulsory
component of any program or project dealing with sustainable management of natural resources.
The purpose of this study was to identify soil erosion monitoring indicators in Kuresoi South, Kenya.
The study was comprised of a total representative sample population of 68 respondents from
Kuresoi south catchment which was achieved using Nassiuma coefficient of variation formulae. Our
findings reveal a positive significant relationship between soil erosion monitoring indicators and
natural resource management. Taken together, soil erosion monitoring indicators can be used in
detecting change over time in soil resource.
