Abstract

ABSTRACT SEDIMENT delivery ratios (SDR) were computed for a 1736 ha, mixed land use, agricultural Coastal Plain watershed, based on observed sediment yield and com-puted gross erosion by the USLE method and an experi-mentally determined soil erodibility factor. Seasonal variation in SDR values was observed. This variation was not adequately explained by seasonal variation in rainfall and/or runoff. Relationships for predicting SDR based on season and climatic variables were developed for the study area. Season was found to be the predominate in-dividual predictor of observed variations in SDR values.
