- The amount of soil erosion is directly related to the amount of surface water runoff, which depends on the water infiltration rate and the % slope. The steeper the slope and the less rapid the water infiltration rate, the more rapid the water runoff rate for a given soil.

Mar 22, 2021 · Topography & relief. In “v” shaped valleys on steep slopes, runoff will increase due to gravity. On flatter surfaces runoff is less likely to happen as water will be able to infiltrate into the soil more easily. Equally, depressions in the Earth’s surface and an undulating relief can allow water to collect and reduce runoff. Human factors.

Apr 1, 2013 · Exfiltration and rapid runoff on the abrupt topographic features such as the C3 road-cut and the R5 weir/pond provide examples of how anthropogenic changes in topography affect the dynamics of the coupled groundwater/surface water flow systems.

Apr 4, 2020 · The relationship between precipitation and surface runoff is closely related to the topographic and geomorphological characteristics, underlying surface conditions and climatic factors of a watershed (Gong et al., 2016), and it can reflect a basin's runoff production capacity to some extent.

Feb 19, 2022 · Topography has a significant impact on soil formation as it determines runoff of water, and its orientation affects microclimate which in turn affects vegetation. For soil to form, the parent material needs to lie relatively undisturbed so soil horizon processes can proceed.
Mar 1, 2016 · Summary. In flat lowland agricultural catchments in temperate climate zones with highly permeable sandy soils, surface runoff is a rare process with a large impact on the redistribution of sediments and solutes and stream water quality.
