Examine how field researchers map infiltration and predict runoff using real-world watershed data.
In this excerpt, researchers survey two small watersheds with a specialized rainfall simulator to identify isopotal areas. They combine vegetation, soil, and slope data to estimate infiltration and hydrologic response, then test these estimates on plots installed across the isopotal divisions. The result is a practical look at how measurements translate into watershed-scale predictions.
- See how an infiltrometer survey is used to delineate zones of equal infiltration capacity.
- Learn which site factors—vegetative cover, soil depth, moisture, and slope—affect infiltration rates.
- Understand how regression analysis combines physical measurements to produce isopotal maps.
- Discover how long-term hydrologic records were collected from each plot to study rainfall and runoff.
Ideal for readers of applied hydrology and watershed studies who want a concrete, field-based view of infiltration and runoff measurement.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the science of watershed hydrology, focusing on the relationship between hydrographs of watersheds and hydrographs of smaller plots within those watersheds exposed to rainfall. Using data from two watersheds over a two-year period, the author analyzes the effects of soil moisture, soil temperature, soil structure, and vegetative cover on infiltration, and shows how results from smaller plots can be used to estimate runoff from larger areas. The book provides a comprehensive dataset on infiltration rates, seasonal variations, and rainfall-runoff relationships, and develops a method for predicting surface runoff based on rainfall and infiltration data. This insightful work is a valuable resource for water resource managers, hydrologists, and anyone interested in understanding the complex interactions of water and land.
