Transportation of Soil Particles under Raindrop Erosion | Soil Management

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 under: 1. Raindrop Detachment with [...]

Water Erosion Risk: Assessment and Factors | Soil Management

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Water Erosion Risk 2. Assessment of Water Erosion Risk 3. Factors 4. Methods. Introduction to Water Erosion Risk: The assessment of relative risk of erosion to bare soil involves consideration of slope class erodibility. Previous vegetative covers are not taken into consideration for water erosion risk analysis. Also, it is [...]

Characteristics of Raindrop | Erosion | Soil Management

The raindrop size, shape, mass, velocity, size distribution and its direction of fall are the main characteristics of raindrop. These characteristics are described as below: Characteristic # 1. Rain Drop Size: The rain drop size has been evaluated by Lowe (1967), who caught several raindrops on a flat sheet of slate which was ruled into squares so that the size [...]
