The main purpose of this article is to give a general idea the scientific activity that was carried out starting from 2000s on basis data collected in plots installed at Sparacia experimental station for soil erosion measurement Sicily, South Italy. paper includes presentation site, description methods and procedures measuring processes both available literature applied (sediment sampling water...

The erodibility and erosion resistance of Quaternary sediments play a pivotal role in both the hydrologic processes soil cut slopes. To investigate runoff sediment yield slopes along Pai-Mo road, we performed indoor simulated rainfall experiments under 50° steep slope high intensity (120 mm/h), based on area’s climatic characteristics properties. included various rock fragment contents (30%, 40...

the problems of land degradation and soil loss are among the major problems of watersheds in iran. for erosion andsediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. for doing this, land unit map and the map of effectivefactors should be prepared. for erosion and sediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. however,these empirical methods are usually time co...

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 ...

Rill erosion plays an important role in soil erosion, and studying this process can provide a basis for controlling loss on sloping farmland. The objectives of study were to observe runoff sediment transport processes during two continuous intermittent natural rainfall events monitor the changing morphological characteristics rills within standard plot bare (20 m length, 5 width, slope 10°) at ...
