Effects of Wind Erosion and Soil Salinization on Dust Storm Emission in Western Iran

Dust storms are known as hazardous problems in western part of Iran. Iraq is one of the main sources for dust storm arriving to the western part of Iran. The Radial Basis Function Network model (RBFN) has been used to assess wind erosion hazards in the source area of dust storms over several western Iranian cities. Normalized Difference Salinity Index (NDSI) was used to determine the changes in...

Effect of Nanoclay on Soil Erosion Control

Wind erosion is a widespread phenomenon in arid region. The purpose of this study was assessed the capacity of nanoclay to control soil erosion in wind tunnel experiment. The nanoclay isolated from soils was dominant in montmorillonite. A sandy soil from the Khara desert, nearly 100 km East of Isfahan (Central Iran) was used. The soils of this area are structurally unstable and sandy texture ma...

Hysteretic sediment fluxes in rainfall-driven soil erosion

Hysteresis patterns of different sediment particle sizes were studied via a detailed laboratory study and modelling. Seven continuous rainfall events with stepwisevarying rainfall intensities (15, 30, 45, 60, 45, 30 and 15 mmh-1, each 20 min duration) were conducted using a 5-m× 2-m erosion flume. Flow rates and sediment concentration data were measured using flume discharge samples, and interp...
