SCS Runoff Curve The HEC-HMS generated graph showing the rainfall-runoff relationship is shown in Figure 4-5. From the figure‚ it is observed that the trend behaves in a semi-parabolic manner‚ where the runoff gradually increases as rainfall goes higher. The upward concavity of the line means that precipitation is not entirely converted to runoff. This may be attributed to losses due to infiltration and deep percolation‚ evapotranspiration

Effects of Pesticide Case Study INTRODUCTION The Bago City is the rice granary of Negros Occidental. The farmers of Bago City are struggling because of the pest. They have decreased their production of rice because of the pest. Our goal of engaging this case study is to analyze and see the effect of the pesticide to the crops. We are to seek good and bad effects of these pesticides. We’re going to focus only on finding the effects of these pesticides so we can come up with a good report. By observing

Trees filter sewage and farm chemicals‚ reduce the effects of animal wastes‚ clean roadside spills and clean water runoff into streams. 3. Trees Control Noise Pollution Trees muffle urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees‚ planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house‚ can abate major noises from freeways and airports. 4. Trees Slow Storm Water Runoff Flash flooding can be dramatically reduced by a forest or by planting trees. One Colorado blue spruce‚ either

While the nature takes from 100 to 400 years to build one centimetre of top soil‚ man can and often does destroy it almost overnight by haphazard land use and improvident husbandry. Irrational methods of cultivation‚ deforestation‚ destruction of natural vegetation due to overgrazing by pasturing animals etc.‚ accelerate denudation. Besides‚ failure of rains‚ floods‚ depopulation and loss of cattle caused by famine and pestilence‚ disturbance caused by war and interference with or change

In the research paper‚ the two discussed an experiment that had been conducted in Sweden. Coupled together‚ a soil water

CONCLUSIONS………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………....12 VI. REFERENCES…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………....13 Abstract This project looks at a select watershed in Michigan and how the various characteristics of that watershed affect runoff from predicted storms. The chosen watershed was the Tobacco River that flows into Lake Superior Tasks were performed to first delineate the watershed‚ calculate the soil and land use‚ use that data to predict a 100 year storm‚ and to delineate the

whereas‚ the LEDC (Bangladesh) was affected much worse. Heavy rainfall of 200mm fell over Carlisle in a 36 hour period. The constant rainfall increased runoff because soil became saturated‚ this runoff ended up flowing into the river Eden. Because Carlisle is a largely urban area‚ concrete ground made from impermeable materials meant that surface runoff increased. There was a lot of discharge from the River Eden which reached 1520 cumecs. In contrast the Bangladeshi volume of precipitation was much

To protect the land cover and soil we make a grassed water way which takes the runoff water away from the cropping field‚ and we provide the bench terraces which make the cultivation easier and allow inter culturing operation comfortably‚ it reduces the soil erosion as well as unnecessary water logging in some areas.

Unfortunately various forms of pollution‚ including runoff and erosion‚ can interfere with the health of the watershed. Therefore it is important to protect the quality of our watershed. It is important for the people to be aware of the events that happen around them‚ especially the information that concern

Instead of trapping precipitation‚ which then percolates to groundwater systems‚ deforested areas become sources of surface water runoff‚ which moves much faster than subsurface flows.That quicker transport of surface water can translate into flash floodingand more localized floods than would occur with the forest cover.In developing countries‚ people who come from rural often tend
