Water erosion in surface soil conditions: runoff velocity, concentration and D50 index of sediments in runoff

Investigating the Effect of Surface Gravel Cover on Runoff and Soil Erosion with Simulating Runoff

Surface gravel cover is an important factor for contoroling of soil erosion in dry area specially in area that plant can not grow because of excessive dryness and salinity. The objective of this study was investigation effect of different surface gravel cover on runoff and sediment yeild. For this porpose, 36 field plots with 20 meter length and 0.5 meter width at 3 percent slope were construct...

The Effect of Leaf Litter Cover on Surface Runoff and Soil Erosion in Northern China

The role of leaf litter in hydrological processes and soil erosion of forest ecosystems is poorly understood. A field experiment was conducted under simulated rainfall in runoff plots with a slope of 10%. Two common types of litter in North China (from Quercus variabilis, representing broadleaf litter, and Pinus tabulaeformis, representing needle leaf litter), four amounts of litter, and five r...

The Variations of Runoff, Soil loss and Sediment Concentration Variables using Different Biochar levels in Laboratory Conditions

The control of runoff and soil erosion is one of main issues around the world. Therefore, the application of soil amendments is essential in protect water and soil. On the other hand, increasing the sludge production from factories is one of environmental problems that there are methods for beneficial from sludge production including convert them to Biochar. Therefore, the present study was con...

Process Based Modeling for Simulating Surface Runoff and Soil Erosion at Watershed Basis

Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP), a process based erosion model that computes spatial and temporal distributions of surface runoff, soil loss and sediment deposition from overland flow on hillslopes and soil loss and sediment deposition from concentrated flow in small channels. In the present study, surface runoff and soil loss were simulated in a mini watershed (57 ha) of Sitlarao water...
