today's, adverse effects of off-site erosion, namely damages received from sediment, is a serious bioenvironmental problem. one of the methods for temporary soil stabilization before permanent rehabilitation of vegetation cover, especially on slopes, for mitigating of bioenvironmental contaminants, is using materials having property to cementate the dispersed particles on the soil surface....

Runoff phosphorus (P) associated with eroded soil contributes to eutrophication to some extent. The present work examines two methods for estimating the potential bioavailability of particulate P (PP) in runoff, and studies the concentrations and losses of different P forms in surface and subsurface runoff from arable soils. The potential bioavailability of PP was approximated by extraction wit...

Recently, rainwater management is considered as an essential means for recovering natural hydrological cycles in urban area. However, a lack of technical knowledge on the design of rainwater management system has been identified as a major hurdle preventing widespread application of rainwater management. This study focused on the application of design methods for rainwater management system. A ...

To preserve the quality of surface water, official French regulations require farmers to keep a minimum acreage of grassland, especially bordering rivers. These agro-environmental measures do not account for the circulation of water within the catchment. This paper examines whether it is possible to design with the farmers agri-environmental measures at field and catchment scale to prevent soil...

Combined sewer systems are designed to transport stormwater surface runoff in addition to the dry weather flows up to defined limits. In most European countries, hydraulic loads greater than the design flow of wastewater treatment plants are discharged directly into the receiving water bodies with minimal treatment (screening, sedimentation) or with no treatment at all. One feasible solution to...

The circulation of water through the Earth system is of critical importance to life on Earth. The hydrological cycle is also intimately linked to the energy cycle and to biogeochemical processes including the carbon cycle. Simulating the various processes that interact to form the hydrological cycle is a daunting task for climate models. In particular, over land, interactions between precipitat...

forests are an important economic source for human and have key role in nutrient cycle, hydrology and ecosystem performance, any interference in this vital ecosystem causes to damage to forests. mechanical logging and road construction in forest areas have led to much soil compaction. soil physical and chemical properties were studied in parts of road and non-road in the darabkola forest of ira...
