The rain erosivity R-factor is one of the main parameters in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). This paper describes the procedure used to update, differentiate and regionalize the rainfall erosivity R-factor. For the Czech Republic it is recommended to use the average value R = 40.

Keywords: rainfall; rainfall erosivity factor; water erosion
