Hydrological processes and soil loss differentiation within the limits of urban territories (a case study of Kursk)

Abstract

Urban areas are subdivided into regions on the basis of spatial differentiation of hydrological processes and associated soil loss. The primary material for the quantitative (including statistic) analysis of the processes comes from experimental studies Io the city of Kursk. Principles of regionalisation and quantitative characteristics of runoff and soil loss within the regions permit physical model ling and forecast of runoff and erosion quantities within urban territories.
