11. He believed these to include drainage density, channel slope, overland flow length, and other less important factors. 12. Overland flow can be routed between sub-areas, between subcatchments, or between entry points of a drainage system.13. Horton overland flow is most commonly encountered in rural roads, where vegetation has been stripped away, exposing bare dirt. 14. Vegetation can also be used to control water erosion by limiting surface processes such as sheet wash and overland flow . 15. Mulches, erosion cloth and seeding retard overland flow and protect soil from rain drop impact and increase soil moisture holding capacity. 16. The composition of a soil determines how quickly saturation occurs and cohesive strength retards the entrainment of material from overland flows . 17. His studies of overland flow aided in the understanding of soil erosion and provided a scientific basis for soil conservation efforts. 18. Overland flow is a primary factor in channel initiation where saturation overland flow deepens to increase shear stress and begin channel incision.19. Overland flow is a primary factor in channel initiation where saturation overland flow deepens to increase shear stress and begin channel incision. 20. Surface runoff consists of building roof runoff, parking lot runoff and overland flow from properties to the north of the project site.
