This slide illustrates how
RUSLE2 computes deposition for a grass strip.
The strip causes an abrupt decrease in transports capacity at the
upper edge of the strip. |
|
After the abrupt decrease,
transport capacity increases within the strip. |
|
Deposition occurs because
transport capacity drops to less than sediment load. |
|
If the strip is sufficiently
wide, deposition will end within the strip where sediment load becomes equal
to transport capacity. |
