This work aims to verify the effects of natural structure a residual soil on its erodibility and potential, employing compaction, restore erosion resistance. It is gneiss that occurs in state Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil. Infrastructure earthworks expose this material action water, which can develop severe erosive features. The evaluation was made using MCT methodology based infiltrability m...

Physically based distributed hydrological models aim at an adequate representation of processes, including runoff generation. A significant proportion is generated through the subsurface, i.e. by groundwater flow or unsaturated subsurface stormflow. However, in case high rainfall intensity and/or low soil-surface infiltrability, surface may strongly contribute to total runoff, too, either satur...

Extensive deforestation in tropical regions may significantly influence the hydrological cycle. However, subsurface runoff processes thick soil layers humid forests are poorly understood; thus, impact of land-use changes such remains unclear. To understand generation mechanisms tropics, we monitored groundwater and moisture dynamics a forested hillslope Sumatra, Indonesia. We also conducted fie...
