Under law, runoff from open feedlots must be controlled so that it does not enter a stream. Settling basins and infiltration channels are simple, effective, economical means of runoff control.

Infiltration trenches are linear ditches that collect rain water from adjacent surfaces, and their highly permeable soils allow the water to quickly seep into the ground. As mentioned, infiltration ...

A detenetion pond, or "detention basin," is a large, constructed depression in an urban landscape that receives and stores the stormwater runoff from large drainage areas. Detention basins usually ...

The Hydrologic Cycle is quite complex, with many moisture paths; however, in this project we are only concerned with a small portion of the entire cycle. In a simplified hydrologic model, rainfall (or ...

These findings highlight the influence of spatial heterogeneity in soil thickness on preferential flow characteristics, further enriching the complex infiltration-runoff theory in karst hillslopes.

More than 1,100 trees have been planted around the Rea Brook in Shropshire as part of a flooding management scheme. Volunteers and contractors have planted specially selected species alongside the ...
