Modeling Surface Runoff

  • Chapter
Soil Erosion

Part of the book series: Environmental Science ((ENVSCIENCE))

Abstract

In most climates, soil erosion is governed by the surface runoff of water during excessive rainfalls. Thus, numerical models for the simulation of surface runoff provide a key to quantitative modeling of soil erosion.
