Evaluation of Surface Runoff Generation Processes Using a Rainfall Simulator: A Small Scale Laboratory Experiment

Runoff and Soil Erosion Assessment on Forest Roads Using a Small Scale Rainfall Simulator

Forestry operations can significantly alter hydrological and erosional processes in a catchment. In the course of developing timberland, a network of persistent roads and skid trails causing soil compaction is usually established. Hereby, the infiltration rate of the soil is distinctly reduced, which leads to the generation of overland flow—this may also cause soil erosion. In this study, a sma...

Simulation of Runoff Quality in Sub-catchment of Karkheh Watershed Using a Field Rain Simulator

In this study, the effects of three land use categories on runoff quality was investigated using a rainfall simulator, in six sub-catchments in Kakasharaf watershed in Lorestan province. In total, 39 instances of artificial rain with a duration 30 min were created and the amount of phosphorus and potassium in the resulting runoff was measured on three land uses. The results showed that the aver...

Bedding and within-pen location effects on feedlot pen runoff quality using a rainfall simulator.

Soluble salts, nutrients, and pathogenic bacteria in feedlot-pen runoff have the potential to cause pollution of the environment. A 2-yr study (1998-1999) was conducted at a beef cattle (Bos taurus) feedlot in southern Alberta, Canada, to determine the effect of bedding material [barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) straw versus wood chips] and within-pen location on the chemical and bacterial propertie...
