3D GIS Modeling of Soft Geo-Objects: Taking Rainfall, Overland Flow, and Soil Erosion as an Example
In physics, objects can be divided into rigid and soft objects according to the object deformation capacity. Similarly, geo-object can also be classified into rigid geo-objects (e.g., building, urban) and soft geo-objects (e.g., mudflow, water, soil erosion). There are three types of approaches for 3D GIS modeling, i.e., surface-based, volume-based, and hybrids in terms of geometry. These appro...
متن کاملBiopolymer additives to reduce erosion-induced soil losses during irrigation
A series of biopolymers added to irrigation water were tested for their efficacy in reducing shear-induced erosion in a laboratory-scale mini-furrow. Suspensions of chitosan, starch xanthate, cellulose xanthate, and acid-hydrolyzed cellulose microfibrils, at concentrations of 20, 80, 80, and 120 ppm, respectively, reduced suspended solids by more than 80%. None of these biopolymers, however, ex...
متن کاملNarrow grass hedges reduce tylosin and associated antimicrobial resistance genes in agricultural runoff.
Agricultural runoff from areas receiving livestock manure can potentially contaminate surface water with antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of narrow grass hedges (NGHs) on reducing the transport of antimicrobials and ARGs in runoff after land application of swine manure slurry. Plot-scale rainfall simulatio...

متن کاملModeling of Overland Flow Contamination Due to Heavy Metals in Shallow Soil Horizons
Heavy metals in southeast Kansas are frequently found in the shallow soil layers. Rainfall events in this region often generate overland flows which cause the release and migration of these chemicals into surface waters. The chemicals are then transported in surface waters to downstream locations and, as such, pose a threat to the quality of both fields along streams and surface and ground wate...
