1 Nielsen HYDROLOGIC SOIL GROUP ASSIGNMENT
نویسندگان
چکیده
Assignment of soils to hydrologic soil groups has been based on published criteria subjectively interpreted and applied by soil scientists. As a result hydrologic soil group placement for any given soil lacks consistency of method and correlation to the respective soil's physical properties. A method of placing soil into hydrologic soil groups was developed using fuzzy systems techniques. This method consists of a set of fuzzy system rules and evaluations that establish a consistency in the interpretation of hydrologic soil group criteria. The fuzzy system placement of soil into a hydrologic soil group correlates well with previously established placements. This approach also identified those soils that may have been improperly placed in a given hydrologic soil group and those that have insufficient data to make a proper group placement.

Soil hydrologic group detection based on geomorphologic facieses and slope (Case study: Taleghan Watershed, Iran)
The main goal of this paper is to propose a new practical method for hydrologic soil group estimation in surface runoff process based on geomorphology facieses and slop. The determination of CN based on this method can reduce the time and cost of project. In this research the upstream rivers of Glinak Watershed have been used as a case study to examine the efficiency of proposed method with a c...
متن کاملHydrologic-Process-Based Soil Texture Classifications for Improved Visualization of Landscape Function
Soils lie at the interface between the atmosphere and the subsurface and are a key component that control ecosystem services, food production, and many other processes at the Earth's surface. There is a long-established convention for identifying and mapping soils by texture. These readily available, georeferenced soil maps and databases are used widely in environmental sciences. Here, we show ...
متن کاملHydrologic responses of watershed assessment to land cover and climate change using soil and water assessment tool model
Predicting the impact of land cover and climate change on hydrologic responses using modeling tools are essential in understanding the movement and pattern of hydrologic processes within the watershed. The paper provided potential implications of land conversions and climate change scenarios on the hydrologic processes of Muleta watershed using soil and water assessment tool model. Model inputs...
متن کاملGravitational and capillary soil moisture dynamics for distributed hydrologic models
Distributed and continuous catchment models are used to simulate water and energy balance and fluxes across varied topography and landscape. The landscape is discretized into computational plan elements at resolutions of 10–10 m, and soil moisture is the hydrologic state variable. At the local scale, the vertical soil moisture dynamics link hydrologic fluxes and provide continuity in time. In c...
