Reducing the delivery of phosphorus (P) from land-applied manure to surface water is a priority in many watersheds. Manure application rate can be controlled to manage the risk of water quality degradation. The objective of this study was to evaluate how application rate of liquid swine manure affects the transport of sediment and P in runoff. Liquid swine manure was land-applied and incorporat...

today's, adverse effects of off-site erosion, namely damages received from sediment, is a serious bioenvironmental problem. one of the methods for temporary soil stabilization before permanent rehabilitation of vegetation cover, especially on slopes, for mitigating of bioenvironmental contaminants, is using materials having property to cementate the dispersed particles on the soil surface....

Characteristics of surface runoff from a 0.14-km2 urban catchment with separated sewer in Macau was investigated. Water quality measurements of surface runoff were carried out on five rainfall events during the period of August to November, 2005. Water quality parameters such as pH, turbidity, TSS, COD, TN, Zn, Pb, and Cu were analyzed. The results show that TN and COD are the major pollutants ...

Pollution of rivers with excess nutrients due to groundwater discharge, storm water runoff, surface loading, and atmospheric deposition is an increasing environmental concern worldwide. While the storm water runoff and surface loading of nutrients into many rivers have been explored in great detailed, the groundwater discharge of nutrients into the rivers has not yet been thoroughly quantified....

Study of hydro-climatology at a range of temporal scales is important in understanding and ultimately mitigating the potential severe impacts of hydrological extreme events such as floods and droughts. Using daily in-situ data over the last two decades combined with the recently available multiple-years satellite remote sensing data, we analyzed and simulated, with a distributed hydrologic mode...

due to the importance of the role of land use changes on runoff changes, several studies have taken place to develop models with simulating land use changes. in this study, the l-thia model was used for estimating the runoff made by land use changes in chalousrud watershed. results of runoff modeling using l-thia model showed that runoff depth increased from 422.98mm to 809.168mm during 1984 to...

Runoff, soil loss, sediment concentration, and particle size distribution of sediment eroded by runoff events were measured between 1976 and 2000 from 5 small agricultural watersheds on Vertisols at ICRISAT Center, Patancheru, India. The effects of storm size and land management system on total soil loss and size distribution of sediment during runoff are discussed. At the beginning of runoff e...

Abstract The study of runoff is a cr...

Stormwater management has traditionally focused on the use of conveyances to quickly move stormwater runoff from urban centers into nearby rivers, streams, and lakes. The increased flow caused by impervious surface cover (ISC) leads to runoff rates that are amplified by kinematic processes as they travel through the municipality’s stormwater system. Elevated runoff volumes and rates lead to hig...
