Upload NowAfter reading this article you will learn about the estimation of soil loss caused by water erosion. While direct measurement of soil loss from an agricultural watershed is desirable, in many instances for example in determining adequacy of conservation measures in farm planning, the prediction of soil loss for a given set of conditions may […]

After reading this article you will learn about the hydrologic cycle and its components. Runoff, a potential carrier of nutrients and sediment to streams and lakes is best described in the science of hydrology. Two basic physical principles governing the amount and distribution of water on the earth are those of mass conservation and energy […]
Factors Affecting Runoff | Hydrology
Article shared by :
Factors affecting runoff may be divided into those associated with the precipitation, and the watershed characteristics. Factor # 1. Precipitation: Since by far the largest portion of precipitation occurs as rain, and the rainfall directly affects soil erosion, the characteristics of rainstorm and intensity, duration and frequency of rainfall are of interest in describing the […]
