LECTURE 2- WATERSHED CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENTS.pptxCHU DICKSON
A watershed carries water from the land after rain and snowmelt. Watersheds can be classified based on size (small <250km^2, medium 250-2500km^2, large >2500km^2) and land use (agricultural, urban, mountainous, forest, desert, coastal). Physical characteristics like area, length, slope, and shape affect watershed hydrology. Basin area reflects water volume potential while slope affects runoff momentum. Circular shapes result in more evenly timed runoff than elongated shapes.
The document discusses the relationship between soil, water, and plants. It covers several key topics:
- The importance of water for plant growth and physiological processes like germination, photosynthesis, and transpiration. Water is necessary for these processes and makes up a large percentage of fresh plant tissues.
- The movement and storage of water in soil, including gravitational, field capacity, and hygroscopic water. Plants can only access water within a certain soil water potential range.
- The mechanisms by which plants absorb water from soil, including passive absorption via transpirational pull and active absorption using energy. Absorption is influenced by root properties and environmental factors.
- How nutrients move from soil to plant
This document describes how to use a double ring infiltrometer to measure infiltration rates of soil. A double ring infiltrometer consists of two concentric metal cylinders that are hammered into the ground. Water is poured into the inner ring and the rate of infiltration into the soil is measured over time using a measuring rod. Soil types have characteristic infiltration rates ranging from less than 30 mm/hr for sand to 1-5 mm/hr for clay. The document provides materials needed, methodology which involves recording water level drops over time, and references.
Classification of soil water & soil moisture characteristics curveSHIVAJI SURYAVANSHI
Water in soil can be classified into three types based on how tightly it is held:
1) Capillary water held by surface tension in small pores.
2) Gravitational water that drains freely under gravity.
3) Hygroscopic water tightly bound to soil particles.
Soil water content is measured using concepts like field capacity, wilting point, and moisture tension. Water moves through soil via saturated, unsaturated, or vapor flow depending on soil moisture levels. Infiltration rate depends on soil properties and moisture conditions.
The document classifies and describes the three main classes of soil water:
1) Capillary water, which exists in pore spaces by molecular attraction and surface tension, held at tensions from 1/3 to 15 atmospheres.
2) Gravitational water, which will drain out of soil pores due to gravity if drainage is provided, and is not available for plant growth.
3) Hygroscopic water, which is absorbed by oven-dried soil exposed to moist air and is held very tightly by adsorption forces at tensions from 10,000 to 31 atmospheres, making it unavailable to plants.
This document discusses runoff and provides definitions, processes, types, factors affecting runoff, and methods to estimate runoff. It defines runoff as the portion of precipitation that flows towards rivers and oceans as surface or subsurface flow. The key types of runoff discussed are surface runoff, subsurface/interflow, and baseflow. Factors affecting runoff include precipitation characteristics, catchment characteristics, topography, geology, and storage features. Methods to estimate runoff include direct measurement and indirect methods like empirical formulas, the rational method, and unit hydrograph analysis.
The document discusses hydraulic conductivity, which measures the ability of a material like soil or rock to transmit fluids through pores and fractures under an applied hydraulic gradient. It describes hydraulic conductivity as being important for calculating groundwater movement rates and outlines experimental and empirical methods for determining it in the field or laboratory, such as constant head tests, falling head tests, or correlations with soil properties. Hydraulic conductivity is the constant in Darcy's Law and is defined as the volume of water that will move through a porous medium per unit time under a unit hydraulic gradient through a unit area measured perpendicular to flow.
An aquifer is an underground layer of permeable rock or sediment that contains water. Aquifers can be confined or unconfined. A confined aquifer is separated from the surface by an impermeable layer, while an unconfined aquifer allows water to seep directly from the surface above. Natural recharge of unconfined aquifers occurs through downward percolation of excess water, while confined aquifers recharge where the aquifer reaches the surface. Infiltration galleries are underground tunnels constructed with holes to intercept groundwater flowing towards lakes or rivers and collect it for extraction.
Soils can process and hold considerable amount of water. They can take in water, and will keep doing so until they are full, or until the rate at which they can transmit water into and through the pores is exceeded. Some of this water will steadily drain through the soil (via gravity) and end up in the waterways and streams, but much of it will be retained, despite the influence of gravity. Much of this retained water can be used by plants and other organisms, thus contributing to land productivity and soil health.
The document discusses infiltration, percolation, and factors that influence infiltration rates in soils. It describes how infiltration rates are measured and defines key terms like infiltration rate, hydraulic conductivity, and percolation. Soil texture, structure, and the presence of vegetation can greatly impact infiltration. Higher infiltration is associated with larger soil pores, continuous pore networks, and protective vegetative covers on the soil surface.
This document provides an overview of watershed development. It defines a watershed as an area of land that drains water to a common point. It describes the characteristics of watersheds including size, shape, physiography, slope, climate, drainage, vegetation, geology and soils, hydrology, and socioeconomics. It outlines the objectives, advantages, management measures, types, and aims of watershed development programs. It also discusses rainwater harvesting, development work carried out in watersheds, economic assessment, and the role of cooperative societies in watershed management.
Soil, Water and Plant Relationship (Day-11, 18 July 2020)Suyog Khose
This document discusses soil-water-plant relationships and various properties of soil. It covers the composition and structure of soil, particle size analysis methods, soil texture and classification, bulk density, porosity, water holding capacity, and types of water held in soil. Key points include the three-phase system of soil (solid, liquid, gas), factors affecting soil properties like texture and structure, methods to determine particle size distribution and soil textural class, and definitions of various terms used to describe soil water content and water retention characteristics.
This presentation includes description about water erosion, types of water erosion i.e. Raindrop erosion, Sheet erosion, Rill erosion, Gully erosion, Stream bank erosion, Sea-shore erosion Landslide/ slip erosion and Tunnel erosion.
Soil crusting refers to the formation of a compact, dense layer on the surface of soil when it dries after rain or irrigation. This crust has very small pores and high density. It forms mainly in arid and semi-arid regions due to the breakdown of soil aggregates by raindrops. There are three main types of soil crusts: structural, erosion/depositional, and cryptogamic. Structural crusts form directly from the compaction of dispersed soil particles. Erosion/depositional crusts involve stripping away of upper layers. Cryptogamic crusts contain algae and fungi. Soil crusting reduces infiltration and aeration, negatively impacting plant growth. It can be prevented
Soil erosion is the displacement of topsoil from its original location. It occurs naturally but can be exacerbated by certain human activities like deforestation, farming practices, lack of vegetation, and wind. The erosion process involves three steps: detachment of topsoil, movement of topsoil to another area, and deposition of topsoil in the new area. Major causes of soil erosion include rain and rainwater runoff, farming, slope of the land, lack of vegetation, and wind. Effects of soil erosion are loss of fertile topsoil, soil compaction, reduced organic and fertile matter, and issues with plant reproduction. Solutions to soil erosion include careful tilling, crop rotation, strip farming, shelter belts, contour pl
The document discusses water balance analysis and provides an overview of key concepts related to the hydrologic cycle and water balance. It defines water balance as calculating total precipitation input and outputs for an area. The hydrologic cycle and water balance principles are then applied to discuss the unsaturated zone, including soil moisture storage, infiltration, and subsurface water flow. Key terms like field capacity, wilting point, and available soil moisture are explained in the context of the unsaturated zone water balance.
Drought is defined as a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall that negatively impacts living conditions and agriculture. It is difficult to determine the exact onset and end of a drought. Drought can be caused by improper rainfall distribution over time and space, as well as an imbalance between precipitation and water usage. There are different types of drought including meteorological, hydrological, agricultural, and socio-economic droughts that have increasingly severe impacts on weather, water resources, crop yields, and the economy. While drought is a natural phenomenon, its effects are exacerbated in developing countries by issues like overpopulation, deforestation, and unsustainable water usage.
The document provides information about micro irrigation training attended by Ahmad Ali. It discusses the various components of drip irrigation systems including filters. Different types of filters are described such as hydro cyclone, J sand separator, horizontal sand filter, vertical sand filter, screen filter and disc filter. Their working mechanisms are explained. The document also discusses the design process for micro irrigation systems including calculating water requirements, selecting pipe sizes, and choosing appropriate pumps and filters. It is concluded that micro irrigation improves water use efficiency and is suitable for arid regions.
This document discusses water erosion, which is the removal of soil by water. It defines erosion as the detachment, transportation, and deposition of soil. The main causes of erosion are misuse of land, deforestation, and poor soil management. The agents of erosion are wind, water, temperature, and biological factors. Water erosion specifically refers to the removal of soil particles by rain or flowing water. The forms of water erosion are rain splash, sheet, rill, gully, and stream erosion. Climate, soil properties, and topography affect the rate of water erosion.
Soil erosion is caused by both natural processes like wind and water, as well as human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, monoculture farming, and removing windbreaks. This accelerated erosion decreases soil fertility and crop production. Several methods can limit soil erosion, including terracing to hold soil and water, contour ploughing across slopes, planting shelter belts to protect soil, using strip farming to minimize bare soil, and installing stone lines along contours to reduce runoff.

This document discusses strip packaging technology. Strip packaging involves enclosing individual articles between two webs of material sealed together in pockets by heated rollers. The process involves feeding articles and web materials between rollers with cavities to form sealed pockets around each article. Design considerations for the strips include pocket shape and size. Seal quality is inspected by heating sealed areas and checking for leaks underwater. Common materials used are foil laminates, PET, and aluminum foil for their barrier and sealing properties.
Soils are being degraded and eroded through human activities like farming, logging, and construction. Sheet, rill, and gully erosion carry away topsoil faster than it can form. One third of the world's cropland is losing topsoil at unsustainable rates. Conservation practices like no-till farming, contour planting, and terracing can help reduce erosion losses by keeping soil covered and slowing water runoff. Proper management of irrigation and use of organic fertilizers are also needed to prevent issues like salinization and loss of soil nutrients.
Soil erosion is a major problem in parts of Africa like Guinea and Zimbabwe. The overuse of land for farming and grazing has removed vegetation that holds soil in place. Heavy rainfall then washes away topsoil, reducing the fertility of the land. This makes it difficult for farmers to grow food, potentially leading to hunger, poverty, and migration. Some efforts to prevent soil erosion include planting trees, using vetiver grass, and constructing stone terraces across slopes.
The document discusses the processes of weathering, erosion, deposition and soil formation. It explains that weathering breaks down rocks through mechanical and chemical processes. Erosion then transports eroded material to new locations where deposition occurs. Over time, deposited materials break down further and combine with organic matter to form soil, which provides nutrients for plant growth. Soil profiles vary in composition with depth and soil color, such as the red color of much Georgia soil, provides clues to its composition.
Soil erosion is the removal of topsoil by various factors like water and wind. It is a natural process that has been accelerated 10-40 times by human activities like intensive agriculture, deforestation, roads, and climate change. This excessive erosion causes on-site issues like decreased productivity and off-site issues like sedimentation of waterways. The rate of erosion is affected by climate, soil properties, vegetation cover, and topography - with factors like heavy rainfall, lack of vegetation, and steep slopes increasing rates. Preventing erosion requires increasing vegetative cover through practices like terracing and windbreaks.
This document discusses soil erosion, its types, causes, and impacts. There are two major types of erosion: geological (natural) erosion and accelerated erosion caused by human activities. Water erosion is caused by raindrop impact and flowing water, detaching and transporting soil particles. It occurs as sheet, rill, gully, ravine, landslide, and stream bank erosion. Wind erosion lifts and transports detached particles through saltation, surface creep, and suspension. Climate, topography, vegetation, soil properties, and human activities influence erosion rates. The Universal Soil Loss Equation is used to estimate water erosion.
This document discusses soil erosion as a major environmental problem in Portugal. It begins by defining soils and outlining the key factors in soil formation. It then describes the different soil types found in Portugal based on past and current classification systems. Maps show the lithology, soils, and land use capabilities across Portugal. Soil erosion processes are examined, distinguishing between wind and water erosion. Various types of water erosion are defined. The document then focuses on Mação, Portugal as a case study area, noting it is affected by forest fires and land changes. Overall, the document provides background on soils and outlines soil erosion as a significant issue in Portugal using the region of Mação to illustrate the problems.
The document discusses various processes of soil erosion by wind and water. Wind erosion primarily occurs through saltation, which moves particles up to 0.4mm in diameter through a series of jumps, and can create blowouts on dunes. Water erosion involves raindrop impact, rainsplash, sheetwash, and the formation of rills and gullies. Farming practices like excessive tillage and removing vegetation can increase erosion risk, resulting in loss of nutrients, sedimentation in reservoirs, and reduced soil productivity. Methods to prevent erosion include maintaining soil structure, providing organic matter, using windbreaks, mulching, and contour plowing.
SOIL PROFILE SOIL EROSION SOIL CONSERVATION CONTROL ON FLOODS AMRITHA K.T.K
The document discusses soil profiles, soil erosion, soil conservation, and flood control. It defines a soil profile as the sequence of soil horizons from the surface down. It describes the main horizons and their characteristics. It then discusses the types and agents of soil erosion caused by water and wind. The effects of soil erosion include loss of fertile topsoil and increased flooding. Methods of soil conservation include agronomic practices, mechanical methods, and reforestation. Flood control methods center around dams, river defenses, and coastal structures to prevent flooding and erosion.
The document discusses how trees can be integrated into stormwater management practices to provide multiple benefits beyond just reducing stormwater runoff. It notes that trees are effective at reducing total and peak runoff, especially for small, frequent storms. However, engineers and foresters have not traditionally collaborated on incorporating trees. The document provides examples of conceptual stormwater practices that integrate trees, such as bioretention areas, tree check dams, and forested strips. It argues that trees should be a higher priority in site designs and engineers need methods to account for the stormwater reductions from trees. There are many potential opportunities in urban areas to plant trees and implement stormwater forestry practices.
This document summarizes a seminar on soil science and soil erosion. It discusses various causes and types of soil erosion including water erosion, wind erosion, and erosion caused by animals. Water erosion is discussed in more detail, outlining different types from rain splash erosion to gully erosion. The document also addresses how human activities like deforestation, overgrazing, and bad farming practices can increase soil erosion. Finally, it provides some solutions for reducing soil erosion such as contour farming, no-till farming, reseeding plants and trees, and retaining walls.

Soil erosion is a major problem in India caused by various natural and human factors. The key causes are heavy rainfall, deforestation, overgrazing, and poor agricultural practices. This strips away topsoil, especially on steep slopes. Regions highly impacted include Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and the Himalayan foothills. To control erosion, methods such as terracing, contour plowing, afforestation, and constructing dams have been used. Preventing further environmental degradation and switching to sustainable farming techniques are important to reduce soil loss.

This document discusses soil erosion, its causes, impacts, and methods for measuring and addressing it. It provides context on the development of the Universal Soil Loss Equation to quantitatively predict erosion. While useful, the USLE does not capture extreme weather events that cause most erosion. Direct measurements are most accurate but also most resource-intensive. The document outlines various on-site and off-site impacts of erosion and early efforts to address the problem through the Soil Conservation Service and projects like Coon Creek Watershed.
The lithosphere is the rigid outermost layer of Earth composed of the crust and upper mantle. It exists in two types - oceanic lithosphere associated with ocean crust, and continental lithosphere associated with continental crust.
Soil is a natural resource that takes thousands of years to form. It is made up of weathered rock particles, living organisms, and dead organic matter. Soil degradation occurs through construction, acidification, salinization, and pollution.
Soil erosion is the removal of the fertile topsoil layer by water and wind. It can be caused by deforestation and unsustainable farming practices. Methods to prevent soil erosion include increasing vegetation cover through practices like crop rotation, reforestation,
Erosion is the natural process by which rocks and soil are loosened and transported from one location to another by forces like water, wind, ice, and gravity. It can be accelerated by human activities like farming, mining, deforestation, and overgrazing. The main causes of erosion are water, wind, and ice. Water erosion occurs through processes like hydraulic action, solution, and abrasion in streams and rivers. Wind erosion transports soil particles through saltation, suspension, and creep. Glacial erosion uses processes like plucking and abrasion to erode and transport material. Control measures for erosion include mulching, crop rotation, terracing, barriers, and ridging to protect soil.
Soil erosion occurs through water and wind carrying away topsoil. This is harmful because it removes nutrients needed for plant growth and it takes a long time to recover lost topsoil. Soil erosion is worsened by activities like agriculture, deforestation, overgrazing, and construction which leave soil exposed. To prevent erosion, farmers use techniques like no-till farming, chisel plowing, cover cropping, and contour plowing to minimize disturbance and keep the soil covered. On slopes, terracing creates level areas to reduce runoff. Exposed soil from activities can be controlled through spraying water or containing eroded soil until the land is reclaimed with topsoil and vegetation.

This document provides an introduction and overview of soil and water conservation. It discusses how soil and water are important natural resources for agriculture but are being degraded in India. Soil erosion occurs naturally but is exacerbated by human activities like cultivation. The key forms of soil erosion by water are splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, and stream/coastal erosion. The Universal Soil Loss Equation is presented as a way to estimate average annual soil loss. Biological control measures like contour cultivation, strip cropping, intercropping, and conservation tillage are discussed as ways to reduce soil erosion.
the soil erosion and soil conservation.pptxRashmiSanghi1
This document summarizes soil erosion and conservation. It defines soil erosion as the process by which soil is moved from one place to another by agents like wind, water, or glacial activity. There are two types of erosion: natural geological erosion and accelerated human-caused erosion. Factors that influence erosion include rainfall, soil characteristics, slope, vegetation cover, and human activities like deforestation, overgrazing, and farming. The Dust Bowl of the 1930s in the American Midwest demonstrated how poor farming practices can lead to massive soil erosion and loss. The document outlines various agricultural solutions to soil erosion like terracing, contour plowing, crop rotation, and conservation methods.
Soil is composed of distinct layers called horizons. The topsoil or A-horizon is at the top and is dark, soft, and rich in nutrients. Below is the B-horizon, which is harder and contains fewer nutrients. The lowest layer, the C-horizon, consists of small rock fragments. Soil forms through weathering of rocks by water, wind, and climate, and it supports plant growth by providing structure, water, and nutrients. The type of soil depends on the proportions of sand, silt, and clay particles.
Soil erosion is the process by which soil is moved from its original location. There are two types: natural erosion which occurs gradually, and accelerated erosion which is caused by human activities and removes topsoil too quickly. Soil erosion is caused by weather factors like wind and water, and is worsened when vegetation is removed. The erosion process has three steps: loosening soil particles, moving them, and depositing them elsewhere. Management practices can reduce erosion, such as using mulch, silt fences, and contour planting in urban areas, and terraces, grassed strips, and conservation tillage in agriculture.
Soil erosion occurs through water and wind carrying away topsoil. This is harmful because it removes nutrients needed for plant growth. Factors that increase erosion include removal of vegetation, plowing, overgrazing, construction, and mining. Erosion can be reduced through techniques like no-till farming, contour plowing, terracing, and replanting vegetation on disturbed land. Preventing excessive erosion is important for maintaining fertile soils and limiting environmental damage.
Soil erosion occurs through water and wind carrying away topsoil. This is harmful because it removes nutrients needed for plant growth. Factors that increase erosion include removal of vegetation, steep slopes, cultivation, forest and grazing land mismanagement. Erosion exceeds soil formation when accelerated by human activities. To reduce erosion, farmers use techniques like no-till farming, cover cropping, and contour plowing to keep soil protected. On slopes, terracing creates flat surfaces to slow water flow. Exposed soils are managed through spraying water or containing eroded areas until revegetation.
Soil erosion is the process by which the top layer of soil is worn away by water, wind, or tillage. It occurs naturally but human activities like agriculture, grazing, logging, and mining have accelerated the process. Soil erosion reduces soil fertility and can lead to loss of arable land, pollution of waterways, air pollution, and desertification if left unchecked. Methods to prevent soil erosion include planting trees, adding mulch, using fibre logs, and improving drainage systems.
This document discusses soil erosion including its causes, types, and agents. It defines soil erosion as the detachment, transportation, and deposition of soil particles by forces like wind and water. The two main types of erosion are geologic erosion, which is the natural, balanced process of soil formation and loss, and accelerated erosion, which exceeds the natural rate due to human and natural causes. Water and wind are the primary agents of soil erosion. Factors like vegetation removal, improper land use, and slope steepness can increase soil erosion and negatively impact crop production, waterways, and infrastructure.

This document discusses soil erosion, including its types, causes, environmental effects, and methods for prevention and control. It defines soil erosion as the removal of topsoil by forces such as water, wind, animals, ice, and human activity. The main types of erosion are by water and wind. Factors that influence erosion include slope, soil texture, structure, climate, permeability, organic matter levels, vegetation cover, and grazing. Erosion negatively impacts soil quality, crop yields, water quality, and can lead to desertification. Recommended prevention methods include establishing plant cover, using fertilizers, crop rotation, windbreaks, controlled grazing, minimum tilling, contour farming, and artificial channels.
The document discusses soils, including what soil is composed of (organic matter, minerals, and weathered rocks) and various methods for conserving soils, such as mulching, contour barriers, terrace farming, and shelter belts. Some threats to soil are identified as soil erosion, deforestation, overgrazing, overuse of fertilizers and pesticides, rain wash, landslides, and floods. Multiple choice questions are included to test comprehension, such as identifying that soil is composed of organic matter, minerals and weathered rocks, that mulching refers to covering bare ground with organic matter, and that shelter belts involve planting rows of trees to check wind movement.
There are two main types of soil erosion: geological erosion and accelerated erosion. Geological erosion occurs naturally through processes like rainfall, wind, and topography. Accelerated erosion is caused by human activities like deforestation, lack of soil conservation, and development. Some forms of accelerated erosion include sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, and wind erosion. Soil erosion can have negative impacts such as loss of agricultural production, loss of nutrients, reduced water infiltration, increased tillage costs, flooding, and land degradation.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

6. The erosion termed indicates the meaning of
soil remove from one place and depositing them
to some another place.
“Removal of soil from its original position”
“It is the process of detachment,
transportation & deposition of soil materials
from one place to another by erosive agents”
Every year in India 16.5 tons/ha/year soil
erosion is occur by agents of erosion.
WHAT IS EROSION ?
8. Types of Erosion
In general there are two types of soil erosion.
1. Geological Erosion:-
It is caused by nature.
2. Accelerated Erosion:-
It is caused by human activities.
12. Types of water erosion:-
1.Rain splash erosion.
2.Sheet erosion.
3.Rill erosion.
4.Gully erosion.
5.Stream bank erosion.
Other forms of erosion:-
1.Glasical erosion.
2.Snow erosion.
3.Organic erosion.
4.Underground Erosion.
5.River erosion.
13. • Rain Splash Erosion:
Rain splash erosion is caused by the impact of
water striking the surface of soil.
It takes place in two steps.
1. As precipitation fills the pore spaces, loosening
& driving soil particles apart.
2. Impact of subsequent rain drops hitting the
surface, transporting particles to other area.
14. Sometimes water flows as a sheet over
large areas down a slope. In such cases
the top soil is washed away. This is
known as sheet erosion.
Sheet Erosion
15. Rill Erosion.
It is caused by water concentrating into
innumerable, closely spaced small channels.
Left unchecked, rills can cut vertically &
horizontally and when joined form gullies.
16. • Gullies: The running water cuts
through the clayey soils and
makes deep channels as gullies.
Gully erosion
17. Stream Erosion.
When flow in gullies become permanent,
it is called a stream which may be
permanent or seasonal is called as stream
erosion.
18. Factors affecting water Erosion
A) Climate.
1. Precipitation.
2. Temperature.
3. Wind.
4. Humidity.
5. Solar radiation.
B) Soil.
1. Physical properties of
soil.
2. Vegetation cover.
3. Organic matter
contents in soil.
4. Moisture contents of
soil.
5. Soil density.
19. It is the process in which removal of soil
particles moves one place to another place by
wind in known as wind erosion.
Wind erosion
20. Black Sunday
• April 14th,1935 black
Sunday was the worst
blizzard of the dust storm
with high speeds which
caused the most extensive
damage. It occurs in
United states in Boise city
at 5:15 PM. It is estimated
to have displaced 300
thousand tons of topsoil
from the Prairie area in the
US.
21. Methods of Soil conservation
• ii. Terrace Farming:
Steps can be cut out on
the slopes making
terraces. Terrace
cultivation restricts
erosion. Western and
central Himalayas have
well developed terrace
farming.
i. Contour Ploughing:
Ploughing along the
contour lines can
decelerate the flow of
water down the slopes. It
used in tea cultivation.
22. • iii. Strip Farming:
Large fields can be divided
into strips. Strips of grass
are left to grow between
the crops. This breaks up
the force of the wind.
• iv. Shelter Belts: Planting
lines of trees to create
shelter also works in a
similar way. Rows of such
trees are called shelter
belts. These shelter belts
have contributed
significantly to the
stabilization of sand dunes
and in stabilizing the desert
in western India.
23. Conservation of soil can be done several
ways. Planting trees helps. Trees prevent
erosion both with their roots and
by blocking wind. Terracing is another good
way to conserve soil. Terracing is leveled
sections used for hilly farm lands. Tilling and
plowing helps prepare soil for plants to grow,
but it is promotes erosion, so finding ways to
limit how much you till and plow will help.
