Development and application of travel time based gridded runoff and sediment yield model

In order to study the features of Mountainous watershed runoff and erosion in karst region, , on the basis of design of experiment of the the big pore, slope runoff and erosion, artificial rainfall runoff experiment is made, by establishing artificial rainfall, slope runoff test plot. Large quantities of data were obtained through the artificial rainfall test. According to the experimental data, under different rainfall intensity, rainfall, under the pad surface and rainfall process, regularity of slope runoff and sediment yield in karst area is studied to provide data validation for the development of slope runoff and sediment yield model in karst region.

Runoff And Sediment Yield

Currently, there is interest in Western Canada in extending the grazing season using perennial and annual forages. Of greatest concern is the environmental sustainability of these grazing systems, with emphasis on their ability to withstand erosion. A study to examine the runoff and sediment yields of annual and perennial forages in central Alberta was initiated in 1994. Runoff and sediment yield were quantified under snowmelt and rainfall events for two seasons. Rainfall simulation was used to further examine runoff under growing season conditions. Four forage treatments (two annuals: triticale and a barley/triticale mixture and two perennials: smooth bromegrass and meadow bromegrass) and three grazing intensities (light, medium and heavy) were studied, each replicated four times. Total annual runoff was dominated by snowmelt. Generally runoff volumes, sediment yields, sediment ratios and runoff coefficients were all low. Bare ground increased with increasing grazing intensity and was significantly greater in annuals than perennials for all grazing intensities. Litter biomass decreased with increasing grazing intensity and was generally similar in all species for both years at heavy and medium grazing intensities. Results from the rainfall simulation corroborated those under natural rainfall conditions and generally indicated the sustainability of these grazing systems at this site.
