"If we got warm temperatures combined with rain, we'd have a very high runoff".
Two weeks ago, unusually high runoff from mountaintop-removal mines contributed to the flooding that devastated West Virginia.
Rainfall events with antecedent rainfall can produce high runoff and sediment yield.
During periods of high runoff, nested sampling indicates that nutrient fluxes scale with catchment area.
They experience substantial precipitation and have relatively high runoff from forested watersheds unless altered by agriculture or urbanization.
In the sub-humid region, minimum tillage (MT) generated high runoff but relatively low sediment yield compared to CT.
However, no redoximorphic features are observed in the soil on the side slope due to high runoff.
Despite low rainfall in the Punjab plains, the moderately high runoff from the Himalayas ensures a year-round flow in the Indus and its tributaries, which are extensively utilized for canal irrigation.
Human activities threaten some three-fourths of the world's reefs, with the highest damage being concentrated in areas having high rates of deforestation and high runoff from the land.
However, the total suspended sediment yield from hillslopes did not decline due to the disproportionately high yields from low (<10%) cover sites particularly in high runoff years.
However, current shallow injection equipment only places the sludge or slurry into slots leaving it exposed with a high runoff risk.
