1 MODELLING SURFACE RUNOFF TO MITIGATE HARMFUL IMPACT OF SOIL EROSION Pavel KOVAR, Darina VASSOVA Faculty of Environmental Sciences Czech University of Life Sciences Prague HydroPredict Conference 2010 Prague, September 20 to 23, 2010

2 INTRODUCTION Problems Caused by Water Erosion Loss of soil is an important issue worldwide, due to: Increased frequency of hydrological extremes Inexistent or insufficient erosion control measures Improper land use Improper agricultural/forest management First steps for solving problems related to water erosion : Empirical models: USLE/MUSLE (Modified/Universal Soil Loss Equation, Delivery Ratio) Simulation models: CN-based models (EPIC, CREAMS, AGNPS,...) Surface Runoff and Erosion Processes (SMODERP, EROSION 2D,...) Advanced simulation models: EUROSEM (European Erosion Model, WEPP (Water Erosion Prediction Project,

3 INTRODUCTION CAN WATER EROSION BE PREDICTED USING A MODIFIED HYDROLOGIC MODEL? In this presentation we will try to determine the common principles of surface runoff and soil erosion analyses: Physically-based models Natural rainfall-runoff events data Simulated rainfall-runoff data (using rain simulator) Design rainfall data Observed and computed rain erosivity data assessment Soil loss analysis based on soil erodibility (rill and interrill erosion assessment)

21 CONCLUSIONS ADVANTAGES OF THE KINFIL MODEL provides results from the physically-based scheme. provides possibilities to calibrate model parameters for natural rainfall-runoff event reconstructions. simulates surface runoff discharges, depths, velocities and shear stress accurately enough to be compared with measured discharges and soil losses measured by rain simulator equipment. simulates also the change of land use and farming management. MODELLERS AIM to extend research in soil losses caused by rill erosion (t 0 vers. t K for various granulometric spectra). to compare the KINFIL and WEPP models results.
