1) The document discusses runoff generation and sediment transport patterns in tropical watersheds, with a focus on determining the dominant runoff mechanism and identifying sediment source areas. 2) Methods proposed include characterizing hydrological patterns, monitoring sediments and water, analyzing spatial and temporal changes, and comparing patterns to different hydrological models. 3) Expected outcomes include preliminarily integrating runoff concepts, identifying areas that generate runoff and sediment, determining the relationship between soil loss and nutrients, and evaluating model performance in representing observed patterns.
