Soil Erosion by Water/Sediment Continuity

← previous Sediment Continuity Overall net erosion along a hillslope as function of downslope distance may be calculated by solving a steady state sediment continuity equation (Nearing et al., 1989)Nearing, M., Foster, G., Lane, L., and Finkner, S.

Rill erosion is positive for detachment (eqn 1.26, cf. section → Rill Erosion) and negative for deposition (eqn 1.28). next → Bibliography
