Abstract

The article reports on the result of the study of a field on rilling carried out in the experimental Sparacia area in South Italy. It stated that the measurement of the study were made on a plot six meter wide and 22 meter long subjected to natural rainfalls. It is revealed that the rill morphology was measured for five rainfall events while the rill profile was surveyed for three events. Moreover, it is observed that for three events detailed information on rill erosion and rill morphology allowed verification of the applicability of Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) and estimation of the rill erodibility constant.
