1 Estimating Field-Scale Runoff and Sediment Delivery Seth M. Dabney, USDA-ARS Dalmo A. N. Vieira, USDA-ARS Daniel C. Yoder, Univ. of Tennessee
2 Organization Buffers for concentrated flow control Distributed erosion estimation A reality check
3 NRCS practices to control concentrated flow erosion Buffer Practice NRCS code Purpose Field Border Riparian Forest Buffer Grassed Waterway Vegetative Barrier 61 + Related Practices With Buffering Attributes Channel Vegetation Farm-ponds/in-stream wetlands 378 * Grade Stabilization Structure 41 + Terrace 6 + Water and Sediment Cont. Basin indicates a purpose for which practice may be designed; * reflects an area of potential impact, but not a design purpose
4 Narrow stiff-grass barriers can cause backwaters over a foot deep, spreading runoff
5 Here sediment deposited 1-15 ft upslope of grass. How wide is this.5 ft buffer?
6 Elevation (cm) Distance Above Barrier (cm)
7 Manning s Equation V = 2/3 1 R s n 1/ 2 V = average velocity (m s -1 ) n = a hydraulic resistance parameter (s m -1/3 ) R = hydraulic radius (m) s = ground slope
8 1 Filter Strip Vegetative Barrier Grassed Waterway (s m -1/3 ) n 1 Vetiver D C B Switchgrass with residues A.1 1, m -2 E Bristle bunches 2,5 m VR ~ q (m 2 s -1 )
9 Tillage Erosion Tillage operations cause more soil to be moved downslope than upslope Progressive erosion of hilltops and accumulation of soil near slope bottoms Erosion of hilltops may lead to exposure of unproductive subsoil
10 Deep Hollow Lake, Mississippi Delta an oxbow of the Yazoo River Riparian Ephemeral.5 m Contours
11 Filter Strip without traffic
12
13 Slotted-Inlet pipe and pad grade control structures slow surface runoff and limit gully formation Soil/pad surface
14 Slotted-inlet on pipes are resistant to fouling with crop residues carried in runoff and drains hydrograph tails faster than a square cut pipe.
15
16
17
18 Pipe reduces peak flow from 7 ha cotton, increases ponded depth; could create sheet flow over broad buffer/spillway
19 Distributed erosion estimation
20 RUSLE2 computes sheet and rill erosion, not concentrated flow erosion
21 Ephemeral gully channels end RUSLE hillslopes (AH 73)

33 Flow measurement and sampling
34 Distributed erosion using high resolution topographic data (e.g. LiDAR) GIS tools to identify flow network and channel locations API RUSLE2 calls with slope length calculated from runoff ratios RUSLE2 runoff event sequence linkage with a concentrated flow (ephemeral gully) erosion model
35 Terrain Analysis Define areas of concentrated flow (channels) Define cell connectivity and catchments
36 Slope length calculated as ratio of runoff leaving to runoff generated within cell
37 2D-RUSLE2 API example Distributed soil loss (3 m cells) 35 Mg ha -1 y -1
38 EphGEE Ephemeral Gully Erosion Estimator
39 A reality check
40 Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) roots contribute to soil cohesion, but need time to grow.
41

43
44 Summary RUSLE2 is being optimized to use LiDAR data. The representative runoff event sequence allows distributed sheet and rill erosion estimation and outputs are suitable for linkage with an ephemeral gully model. Buffers and structural conservation practices can control concentrated-flow erosion but maintenance is necessary.
