However, by reducing the potential for surface runoff loss, the release of nitrogen available for plant use is also delayed.
No permanent streams traverse the area, although numerous barrancas carry runoff from seasonal showers.
The advantages of these systems include relatively high runoff efficiencies and a relatively low risk of soil erosion.
Reducing deep drainage through controlled runoff management in high recharge tablelands landscape. All these terraces are bordered to prevent erosion by runoff and to improve water use efficiency. Assessing phosphorous bioavailability in agricultural soils and runoff.Windstorms that cause tree uprooting on particularly unsteady soils as well as periodic strong runoffs contribute to create or maintain a local hummock-hollow topography.
These are three-sided storages; the fourth side on the higher gradient is left open for runoff water to enter.
More porous, less compacted soil structures on the rotation and no-till farms may also play a role in reducing runoff volume.
The conservation of trees prevents a reapportionment from groundwater recharge to runoff that would otherwise occur.
A practical method for estimating the impact of land-use change on surface runoff, groundwater recharge and wetland hydrology.
The ice barrier, which was left in place until the completion of excavation, prevented any runoff from introducing sediments from the excavation into the river.
Our results, indicating higher runoff in exclusively row-cropped, conventionally tilled agricultural fields, are consistent with those of other investigators.
Based on field observations, infiltration pits must be sufficiently low to collect all runoff, especially for those rainfall events with high amount and/or intensity.
There is also some evidence that the alteration to runoff and infiltration by termites affects large scale water movements and associations with groundwater.
Excessive nutrient runoff can also have regional or national consequences. However, the hydrological process that might most determine the present situation is runoff.Over-irrigation can lead to excessive runoff and drainage, with associated negative environmental consequences.
This was accomplished by comparing soil characteristics, water quantity and nutrient fluxes in runoff, energy use and productivity in conventional, crop rotation and no-till farms.
Examples of open channel flow include water flow in rivers, in partially full drains and surface runoff.
However, there was no consistent correlation between modeled productivity and nutrient uptake by the crop and modeled losses to runoff and drainage.
Each ring had a tube built in at ground level that allowed for collection of the runoff.Successful no-tillage requires a layer of residue mulch to reduce both evaporation and runoff, and to achieve economic yields of cereals.
