In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Water Erosion Risk 2. Assessment of Water Erosion Risk 3. Factors 4. Methods. Introduction to Water Erosion Risk: The assessment of relative risk of erosion to bare soil involves consideration of slope class erodibility. Previous vegetative covers are not taken into consideration for water erosion risk analysis. Also, it is [...]
The raindrop size, shape, mass, velocity, size distribution and its direction of fall are the main characteristics of raindrop. These characteristics are described as below: Characteristic # 1. Rain Drop Size: The rain drop size has been evaluated by Lowe (1967), who caught several raindrops on a flat sheet of slate which was ruled into squares so that the size [...]
The extent of coastal areas is less than 15% of the total area of earth. It accommodates more than 50% of the world population, i.e., about 3.1 billion population within 200 km periphery from the sea. And it is expected to reside about three-quarters of the world population by 2025. The coastal areas contain rich resources to produce goods and [...]
