Linking Gully Erosion and Rainfall Erosivity

International Symposium on Erosion and Landscape Evolution (ISELE), 18-21 September 2011, Anchorage, Alaska, 2011
Gully erosion is an ancient and important worldwide problem capable of dramatically increasing sediment yields when active. Rainfall erosivity is a key variable in this phenomenon. However, there are few studies that explore the relationship between rainfall erosivity and gully erosion.

Modeling of Rainfall Erosion

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1985
A combined stochastic and deterministic method has been devel­ oped to evaluate soil erosion from overland flow. The exponential distributions for rainfall duration and intensity are combined with rainfall-runoff relation­ ships for discrete storms. A general equation for.sediment discharge is sug­ gested from dimensional analysis with different sets ...

Rainfall Erosivity over Rhodesia

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 1976
The paper discusses the basis of the determination of the erosive potential of rainfall, termed 'erosivity'. Using bare soil as a standard, a measure linking kinetic energy and a maximum sustained intensity (EI3o) is found to be the most generally applicable erosivity parameter over large areas of Rhodesia.
