Environmental monitoring plays a central role in diagnosing climate and management
impacts on natural and agricultural systems; enhancing the understanding of hydrological …

Rill erosion is a small-scale but universally occurring phenomenon. Given its potential to
concentrate into larger-scale erosion and its non-negligible contributions to soil loss …

Abstract Study region The Three Gorges Reservoir area (TGR), China Study focus Soil
erosion on purple soil hillslope and its negative effects are deleterious to the ecological …

Particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) is a promising image-based approach for remote
streamflow measurements in natural environments. However, most PTV approaches require …

Measuring and monitoring the water depth/level is a key issue when studying free-surface
flows. These tasks are usually expensive in terms of time and money; however, even that …

Water flow velocity is of great importance in quantifying overland water flow hydrodynamics,
related to rainfall infiltration, runoff energy, and soil erosion. Mixing the straw into the …

Flow velocity is an important parameter for rill erosion process studies. The dye tracer
method is the most widely used method for measuring rill flow velocity, but the influential …

The correction factor (α) of surface overland flow velocity is a significant parameter for
determining the mean flow velocity in the study of soil erosion. A series of experiments with …

Many hydrological and soil erosion models employ Manning's coefficient (n) to calculate the
velocity of sheet flow (SF). However, Manning's coefficient of SF cannot be estimated …

Accurately describing rill development is important for building physical process models of
soil erosion. The objectives of this study were to investigate the evolution processes of rill …
