Both vegetation coverage rates and arrangement patterns have important influences on erosion. Very little previous research focuses the impacts of spatial distribution The slope-gully system was taken as object, which is composed a 5.0 m long hillslope with slope gradient 20° 3.0 gully 50°. A series scouring experiments two inflow discharges (3.2 L min−1, 5.2 min−1) carried out. effects flow di...

This paper studies rill and gully initiation and propagation on levees, dams, and general earth embankments. It specifically studies where these erosion features occur, and how long a particular embankment can sustain overtopping before breaching and catastrophic failure. This contrasts to previous levee erosion analysis, which has primarily concerned the final effects of erosion, such as soil ...

Soil erosion by water is commonly recognized as the one of main reasons of land degradation worldwide (e.g. Ananda & Herath, 2003; Beskow et al., 2009; Valentin et al., 2005). Most of the involved areas are occupied by various agricultural activities but pastures, forestry, unpaved roads as well as construction sites are also endangered by water erosion (Ananda & Herath, 2003; Arnanez et al., 2...

The potential impacts of gully erosion over South Eastern Nigeria are a worrisome scenario. It has resulted in the displacement millions habitats, agricultural, and economic losses. result effect Nigerian Erosion Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) monitoring evaluation on development this study revealed positive significant influence at P < 0.05 region. Also, it is that NEWMAP programmes ...

Soil erosion is a major environmental problem of global concern. In the Loess Plateau region China, loess slopes one modes soil erosion, causing serious erosional problems. Most current studies slope use qualitative analyses from field investigations, while quantitative experimental physical simulations are relatively rare. This paper takes which most typical mode as starting point and investig...
