The Spreadsheet Tool for the Estimation of Pollutant Load (STEPL) can be used for Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) processes, since the model is capable of simulating the impacts of various best management practices (BMPs) and low impact development (LID) practices. The model computes average annual direct runoff using the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) method with average rainf...

abstract this study addresses two dimensional infiltration from irrigated furrows. the basic approach is to develop a two-dimensional infiltration as a combination of the corresponding one-dimensional vertical and an edge effect. the edge effect is the difference between the cumulative infiltration per unit of adjusted wetting perimeter and the corresponding one-dimensional infiltration. this a...

Soil conservation is the only known way to protect the productive land. In country like Ethiopia, where droughts and floods cause food scarcity problem, soil and water conservation not only increases crop yield, but also prevents further deterioration of land. Soil and water conservation preserve soil moisture and drain water sustainably to avoid soil erosion and depletion of soil nutrients. So...

the purpose of this study is to assess farmers’ attitude toward the soil conservation practices in the kushk-abad catchment basins in the province of khorasan razavi. a sample of 200 farmers was randomly selected from 1200 farmers living in kardeh catchment basin. data collection was done through a questionnaire that was administered in 2014. validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a pan...

A Redberry juniper is a basal-sprouting, evergreen conifer that occurs in west and northcentral Texas, southwestern Oklahoma, southeastern New Mexico, and northeastern Mexico (Adams and Zanoni 1979). A distribution map, based on a 1948 Soil Conservation Service (SCS) survey of all juniper (cedar) species in Texas was prepared by Allred (1949) (Figure 1 a). A 1982 SCS survey mapped the distribut...
