A Simple Illustration of a Conceptual Soil Erosion Model: A simple analytical solution is developed and experimentally tested for rain-impact induced erosion and sediment transport based on a recently proposed mechanistic model (Hairsine and Rose, 1991, Rose et al., 1994, Lisle et al., 1998). The model was originally derived for hillslope erosion and is reduced in this study to describe erosion from a horizontal soil surface under constant shallow overland flow (approximately 5 mm).
Surface Pollutant Release
during Rainfall-Runoff: A mechanistic, physically based model
for pollutant release from a surface source, such as field-spread
manure (laboratory and field-tested).
Water Budget Model for Septic Disposal
Field Design: A water budget model was developed to evaluate
septic systems performance in sloping hardpan soils such as occurring
in the northeast US. The model simulates water movement, moisture
content and water table height in three fields consisting of the
septic effluent disposal field and the up-slope and down-slope
fields. Ultimately, it assesses the probability of failure for
a set of hydrologic data, septic loading rates, and soil and landscape
parameters that are readily available.
