Abstract
The article presents the results of study of the modern water-erosion processes in the Central Belarus territory. The mechanisms of sheet, gully and river erosion are considered. The areas of development of these processes are established and the parameters of annual erosion drift are calculated. The contribution of each process to the dynamics of the earth's surface relief of the region under study is determined. It is shown that the development of water-erosion processes lead to noticeable negative consequences for environment, disruption (up to destruction) of natural and natural-technogenic objects, and significant economic damage.
