This monograph is a fundamental study of watershed erosion and
runoff processes. It utilizes decades of soil erosion data to take
a comprehensive and balanced approach in covering various watershed
erosion processes. While there are many works on soil erosion and
conservation, this book fills the gaps in previously published
research by focusing more on mass movement, gully erosion, soil
piping/tunnel erosion, and the spatial interactions of different
erosion processes. Additionally, the book examines erosion
processes in extreme rainfall events, something typically absent in
short-term studies but discussed in detail here as the book draws
on 60 years of research and observations, including 30 years of the
author's own investigations of erosion under a wide range of
rainfall conditions. The book is divided into 3 parts, and is
intended for soil erosion researchers and practitioners, and
postgraduate students studying soil erosion and water conservation.
Part 1 opens with a comprehensive and critical review of existing
literature on soil erosion processes, discusses this book's place
among existing literature, and examines the major erosion processes
(rainwash, gully erosion, tunnel erosion, and mass movements)
including their controlling factors and mechanisms. Part 2 explores
the spatial interactions of these different erosion processes to
provide a prerequisite for effective design of comprehensive soil
erosion control measures in a watershed. Part 3 evaluates the
relative significance of these erosion processes in sediment
production, the effectiveness of comprehensive soil and water
conservation programs, and the applications of watershed modelling
in determining the impact of land-use changes on soil erosion and
other ecological processes.
