Abstract
AbstractA portable rainfall simulator for field study of erosion potential and infiltration on mountainous terrain is described. Polyethylene tubes produce 3.2‐mm drops which fall 2.5 m onto a 61 by 61 cm plot. The maximum rainfall intensity is 23 cm/hour. A 16% intensity variation across the plot area was measured, but the variation between separate simulated storms was < 1% for identical intensity settings. The unit is suited to one man operation on slopes up to 60%.
