Synopsis

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.
