In this article we will discuss about how to determine and estimate erodibility factor(k) of soil. Determination of K-Factor: The first study on erodibility of materials was done by Hjulstrom. They developed a curve, called Hjulstrom’s diagram which includes three sectors (erosion, transport and sedimentation) depending on water velocity and the diameter of soil particles. […]

How to Measure Splash Erosion? | Soil Management
Article shared by :
In this article we will discuss about how to measure splash erosion. Introduction to Splash Erosion: The splash erosion is the initial phase of sediment production from the hill slopes. It has very fundamental importance in the soil erosion studies. Regarding evaluation of splash erosion, very few studies have been made so far under field […]
Transportation of Soil Particles under Raindrop Erosion | Soil Management
Article shared by :
Kinnel (2004) described the transportation of soil particles under raindrop erosion in following four processes: 1. Raindrop Detachment with Transport by Raindrop Splash (RD-ST) Raindrop Detachment with Transport by Raindrop Induced Flow Transport (RD-RIFT) 3. Raindrop Detachment with Transport by Flow (RD-FT) 4. Flow Detachment with Transport by Raindrop (FD-FT). These processes are described as […]
