The purpose of this study is to understand applicabilities of sediment yield estimation technique with observed data in the field accelerated by human activity. Commonly used equations such as Universal Soil Loss Equation and Transport Research Board etc. from foreign country is not validated. And analyzing affecting parameters and understanding limit of each estimation technique is not examined, either. To test the applicabilities of several models, a hot spring development site in Chunahn city, Chungnam province is selected. Sediment yield of catchment is determined using RVSLE, TRB, MUSLE, SLEMA, and Morgan & Finned method and compared to actual measurement. It is found that RUSLE and TRB are overestimated and MUSLE dives a rotatively resonable value.
