a quantitative evaluation of the effects of contamination of soil with petroleum, on thesoil physical properties, is required for optimal soil and water resources management. theobjective followed in the present study was to investigate runoff generation in soilscontaminated with kerosene and gas oil. towards this end, variables of runoffcommencement, runoff coefficient, variations in runoff du...

The potential of coupling soil moisture and a Universal Soil Loss Equation-based (USLE-based) model for event soil loss estimation at plot scale is carefully investigated at the Masse area, in central Italy. The derived model, named Soil Moisture for Erosion (SM4E), is applied by considering the unavailability of in situ soil moisture measurements, by using the data predicted by a soil water ba...

Streamflow in the Himalayan rivers is generated from rainfall, snow and ice. The distribution of runoff produced from these sources is such that the streamflow may be observed in these rivers throughout the year, i.e. they are perennial in nature. Snow and glacier melt runoff contributes substantially to the annual flows of these rivers and its estimation is required for the planning, developme...

Problem statement: The rainfall based design flood estimation techniques are commonly adopted in hydrological design and require a number of inputs including information on soil loss characteristics. Approach: A conceptual loss model known as the ‘Initial Loss-Continuing Loss (ILCL) model’ is widely used in Australia. Results: The Initial Loss (IL) occurs at the beginning of the rainfall event,...

abstract this papare is resaults of analysing the data which reported from a harvesting project. the site for collecting data is buildings' roofs of azad islamic university of mashhad. a rain gauge and a small reservoir (capacity is 4 cubic meters) were set at this site. then the amount of precipitation and its runoff were measured during two years (from 1386, dey, 23 to 1388, tir, 3).the sampl...
