whereas‚ the LEDC (Bangladesh) was affected much worse. Heavy rainfall of 200mm fell over Carlisle in a 36 hour period. The constant rainfall increased runoff because soil became saturated‚ this runoff ended up flowing into the river Eden. Because Carlisle is a largely urban area‚ concrete ground made from impermeable materials meant that surface runoff increased. There was a lot of discharge from the River Eden which reached 1520 cumecs. In contrast the Bangladeshi volume of precipitation was much

particles by water erosion‚ losing great amounts of soil where the vegetation cover is thinnest. Plant roods bind the soil‚ while leaves protect it from the impact of heavy rain whilst layers of humus (leaf matter) helps to absorb rainfall and reduce runoff of soil into small rivulets. (small stream.) Any sort of slope will make water erosion more severe‚ as water attains more force thus dislodging plants and more soil. If the water is evenly seething and eroding the soil‚ this is known as “sheet erosion”The

Soil is one of the most important natural resources of man. Soils are essential for man for growing crops‚ fodder and limber. Once the fertile portion of the earth’s surface is lost‚ it is very difficult to replace it. In India‚ the destruction of the top-soil has already reached an alarming proportion. Land degradation problems have resulted in increasing depletion of the productivity of the basic land stock through nutrient deficiencies. In addition to the direct loss of crop producing capacity

In the research paper‚ the two discussed an experiment that had been conducted in Sweden. Coupled together‚ a soil water

Should Atrazine be Banned? Atrazine is a herbicide used primarily on sugarcane‚ sorghum‚ and corn fields to prevent the growth of weeds. Atrazine has been a reliable herbicide for over 50 years. There are no alternatives that can compare to Atrazine. Atrazine is a herbicide classified in the triazine class that is used to prevent the growth of weeds in crop fields. A herbicide is a substance that is toxic to plants and is used to kill any unwanted vegetative growth. The National Corn

The Bradshaw model aims to show how different characteristics of a river change from the source to the mouth in a simplistic method that can easily be understood (greenfield geography‚ 2012). A geographical model is “an attempt to understand natures is high complexity. Therefore geographers try to develop simplified models of it” (Waugh‚ D. 2009). The model shows a series of triangles and each one represents a different fluvial characteristic. On the left is the source and on the right is the mouth

Instead of trapping precipitation‚ which then percolates to groundwater systems‚ deforested areas become sources of surface water runoff‚ which moves much faster than subsurface flows.That quicker transport of surface water can translate into flash floodingand more localized floods than would occur with the forest cover.In developing countries‚ people who come from rural often tend

A ’flashy’ hydrograph has a short lag time‚ high peak discharge‚ and steep rising and falling limbs; a ’damped’ hydrograph is the opposite. Urban development is likely to make a river catchment more ’flashy’ and prone to flooding‚ because of rapid runoff from impermeable tarmac surfaces into streams. Hello MAtthew The shape of a hydrograph changes according to a number of controlling factors in the drainage basin. An example is the amount of VEGETATION / SOILS (INFILTRATION CAPACITY) LEVEL OF
