Reply to comments on the paper “Distinguishing transport-limited and detachment-limited processes of interrill erosion on steep slopes in the Chinese loessial region” from P. I. A. Kinnell

This study investigated the use of laboratory rainfall simulator data for the derivation of CREAMS (chemicals runoff, and Erosion from Agricultural Management Systems) interrill erodibility parameters K and nbov. The laboratory rainfall simulator method of collecting erosion data was validated using the surface of an Irving clay (black earth). Reliable CREAMS K and nbov values for this Irving clay had previously been determined from field rainulator data. In this study, CREAMS erodibility parameters were derived for the same soil type using laboratory rainfall simulator data. The values of these parameters fell within the 90% confidence region for parameters derived from non-rilled field rainulator plots. Both nbov and K, determined from laboratory data, varied with slope, indicating that the slope gradient response predicted by CREAMS may not be applicable for interrill erosion on short, steep slopes. For slopes < 8%, a default value of nbov = 0.01 with K = 0.37 (English units) gave good predictions of observed soil losses. However, for slopes > 8%, there was an over-prediction of observed soil loss up to 60% when these parameter values were used. The data indicate that for predictions of interrill soil loss from steeper slopes, nbov and K values should be adjusted to achieve greater accuracy. When values of K = 0.37 and nbov = 0.01 were used with field data obtained from a site with a slope of 4%, predicted interrill soil losses correlated well with both the estimated interrill component of measured field soil losses and observed soil losses from interrill field plots. It is concluded that the laboratory rainfall simulator used in this study produces hydrology and erosion data that can be used to derive realistic CREAMS parameters for interrill erosion.

This paper objectives are to; (i) identification of risky slopes (within 4 Provinces in Sumatra including Provinces of Riau, West Sumatra, Jambi and South Sumatra encompassing 840 kms of the “Jalan Lintas Sumatra” highway) based on Rockfall Hazard Rating Systems (RHRS) method; (ii) developing alternatives to stabilize slope hazards, and (iii) selecting appropriate slopes stabilization techniques based on both proactive approach and value engineering one. Based on the Rockfall Hazard Rating Systems (RHRS) method, it was identified 109 steep slopes prone to failure within this highway section. Approximately, 15 slopes were identified as potential high-risk slopes (RHRS scores were calculated >200 points). Based on the proactive approach, seven riskiest slopes ware identified. The preferred stabilization alternatives to remedy most of these slopes are suggested as follow; either (i) a combination of retaining wall and drainage, or (ii) gabion structure and drainage. However, different approaches may yield different results, there are at least 2 main consideration in prioritizing slope stabilization; (i) based on the riskiest slopes, and(ii) the least expensive stabilization alternatives.

Steep Slopes

Karanganyar District is a hilly area with steep slopes, rock constituent of young volcanic deposits of Lawu Volcano products, thick soil and relatively high rainfall, so it is potential for large landslides in this region. The landuse in the Karanganyar District including the Tengklik Village is generally dominated by rice fields, seasonal gardens and settlements. Plantation made up in areas with steep topography has great influence on erosion and landslides. Similarly, many settlements are built on a slope so that the area is very vulnerable to the threat of landslides. In the rainy season landslides are common. The potential hazard of landslidesoccurred in 14 sub districts in Karanganyar District. Large landslides have occurred in Karanganyar on December 26, 2007 which claimed the lives of 62 people, with the greatest victims were in the Ledoksari Village, Tawangmangu. The Tengklik Village has already experienced creep type landslides, which have destroyed settlements, roads, seasonalgardens and all existing infrastructure in the area. In order to do the proper handling and anticipation of a catastrophic landslide, a variety of technological applications landslides using geographic information system (GIS) was then carried out, to detect the configuration of 2D geoelectrical subsurface prone areas for landslide risk study and regional planning.

Station Point

Ambon City is a region consisting of hilly areas and steep slopes with diverse river characteristics. Research has been carried out in the Wae Ruhu watershed in Ambon City which starts from upstream (water catchment) to downstream. This study aims to determine the magnitude of river discharge and sediment discharge in the Wae Ruhu watershed. This research was conducted in several stages including, secondary data collection, research location survey, preparation of research tools and materials as well as field data retrieval processes which included tracking coordinates at each station point and entire watershed, calculation of river flow velocity, river geometry measurements, and sampling sediment. The results showed that the average river discharge in the Wae watershed in the year 2018 was 1.24 m3 / s, and the average sediment discharge was 6.27 kg / s. From the results of this study and the field observations proposed for flood prevention and the rate of sediment movement are the construction of cliffs with sheet pile and gabions.
