Soil erosion being a complex process that depends on soil properties, ground slopes, vegetation and rainfall amount and intensity, a field experiment under natural rainfall and slope length for the inter rill soil erosion in two types of soils viz. Alfisols (hill soils) and Entisols (Valley soils) at Imphal, Manipur (24°33΄ to 25°55’ N latitude and 93°42’ to 94°7’ E longitude and 790 m above mean sea level) was estimated by using Universal Soil loss equation. Soil loss due to natural runoff on different slopes ranges from 36.78 to 48.89 ton ha-1 yr-1 (Alfisols) and 50.15 to 63.16 ton ha-1 yr-1 (Entisols)in 2008 and 42.59 ton ha-1 yr-1 to 53.63 ton ha-1 yr-1 in Alfisol and 58.18 ton ha-1 yr-1 to 73.28 ton ha-1 yr-1 in Entisol sin 2009. Rainfall intensity and the slope length exponent greatly influenced runoff. The predictive soil loss equation is statistically significant and observed fitness more than 98 percent.
