Estimation of runoff water quality parameters is required to determine appropriate water quality management options. Various models are used to estimate runoff water quality parameters. However, most models provide event-based estimates of water quality parameters for specific sites. The work presented in this paper describes the development of a model that continuously simulates the accumulati...

Loss of soil nutrients in runoff accelerates eutrophication of surface waters. This study evaluated P and N in surface runoff in relation to rainfall intensity and hydrology for two soils along a single hillslope. Experiments were initiated on 1- by 2-m plots at foot-slope (6%) and mid-slope (30%) positions within an alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)-orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) field. Rain ...

[1] The effects of catchment size and landscape organization on runoff generation are poorly understood. Little research has integrated hillslope and riparian runoff investigation across catchments of different sizes to decipher first-order controls on runoff generation. We investigated the role of catchment sizes on riparian and hillslope dynamics based on hydrometric and tracer data observed ...

Most field-based approaches that address runoff generation questions have been conducted in steep landscapes with shallow soils. Runoff generation processes in low relief landscapes with deep soils remain less understood. We addressed this by characterizing dominant runoff generating flow paths by monitoring the timing and magnitude of precipitation, runoff, shallow soil moisture, and shallow a...

due to the importance of the role of land use changes on runoff changes, several studies have taken place to develop models with simulating land use changes. in this study, the l-thia model was used for estimating the runoff made by land use changes in chalousrud watershed. results of runoff modeling using l-thia model showed that runoff depth increased from 422.98mm to 809.168mm during 1984 to...

This study examines the statistical l~kelihood of detecting a trend in annual runoff given an assumed change in mean annual runoff the underlying year-to-year variabihty in runoff, and serial correlatlon of annual runoff Means, standard deviations, and lag-l senal correlations of annual runoff were computed for 585 stream gages in the contermlnous Unlted States and these statlstlcs were used to...

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is used in agriculture to reduce soil erosion and has been reported to reduce turbidity, nutrients, and pollutants in surface runoff water. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of PAM on the concentration of enteric bacteria in surface runoff by comparing four enteric bacteria representing phenotypically different motility and hydrophobicity from three soi...

BACKGROUND Insecticides are commonly used for ant control around residential homes, but post-treatment runoff may contribute to contamination of surface water in urban watersheds. This study represents the first instance where runoff of insecticides was directly measured after applications around single family residences. During 2007, houses were treated with bifenthrin or fipronil sprays follo...

the main objective of this research was assessing the effects of land use on runoff parameters such as total runoff, surface runoff and peak discharges at the baghsalian watershed as a case study site. at first, land use maps of 1986 and 2012 were prepared using a synthetic method and landsat images. wetspa model was applied to simulate daily runoff for 8 years (the first 5 years as calibration...

in this research introduced the lapsus model as a runoff, erosion and sediment model in iran. this model for the first time has operatedin iran at kakhk paired catchment of gonabad. lapsus model is a landscape evolution model that can estimate the runoff, erosion and sediment at the four stage include: calculate the effective rainfall, runoff routing, calculate the capacity of sediment transpor...
