Rill development and soil erosion: a laboratory study of slope and rainfall intensity
TL;DR: In this paper, a total of 15 rainfall simulation experiments were conducted in a 1'm by 2'm box varying slope (10, 20, 30%) and rainfall intensity (60, 90, 120 mm h−1) with regard to the treatment variables considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental study of rill erosion and morphology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of rainfall intensity on rill network development and presented some indicators for a quantitative description of rill morphology, including the mean rill inclination angle (δmean), rill density (ρ), degree of rll dissection (μ), and mean Rill tortuosity complexity (cmean) increased with the increase of rains under the same rainfall intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement and modelling of high resolution flow-velocity data under simulated rainfall on a low-slope sandy soil
Lucile Tatard,Olivier Planchon,John Wainwright,Guillaume Nord,David Favis-Mortlock,Norbert Silvera,Olivier Ribolzi,Michel Esteves,Chi Hua Huang +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a rainfall-simulation experiment was carried out to produce high-resolution flow-velocity data and the results supported the theory that supercritical flows are a necessary condition for a rill to emerge from a smooth surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Erosion, Deposition and Rill Development On Irregular Soil Surfaces Using Close Range Digital Photogrammetry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for the survey of microtopographic soil surface changes caused by erosion and investigate the development of sediment transport and rill erosion in the inter-rill and Rill areas for a given rainfall event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of potential gully erosion hazard using geo-spatial technology at Garbheta block, West Bengal in India
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on delineation the gully affected areas and characterization of geo-environmental factors in order to prevent future gully erosion in West Bengal in India.

Erosional development of streams and their drainage basins; hydrophysical approach to quantitative morphology
TL;DR: The most important single factor involved in erosion phenomena and, in particular in connection with the development of stream systems and their drainage basins by aqueous erosion is called crossgrading.
Journal ArticleDOI
The European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM): A dynamic approach for predicting sediment transport from fields and small catchments.
Rpc Morgan,John Quinton,Roger E. Smith,Gerard Govers,Jean Poesen,Karl Auerswald,G Chisci,Dino Torri,Merete Styczen +8 more
TL;DR: The European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM) as mentioned in this paper is a dynamic distributed model able to simulate sediment transport, erosion and deposition over the land surface by rill and interill processes in single storms for both individual fields and small catchments.
Journal Article
A GIS procedure for automatically calculating the USLE LS factor on topographically complex landscape units
P.J.J Desmet,Gerard Govers +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a computer algorithm to calculate the USLE and RUSLE LS-factors over a two-dimensional landscape is presented and compared to a manual method, both methods yield broadly similar results in terms of relative erosion risk mapping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydraulics and erosion in eroding rills
TL;DR: In this paper, a relationship for rill flow velocities was proposed, which was found to be a consistent and appropriate predictor for unit sediment load for the entire data set, while other hydraulic variables were not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Channel Networks: A Geomorphological Perspective
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the topological and length properties of channel networks are controlled to a large degree by the spatial requirements of subbasins and the need for these sub-basins to fit together in space, by the size, sinuosity, and migration rate of valley bends, and by the length and steepness of valley sides.
