What factors affect water runoff?
The Major Factors That Affect The Amount Of Water Runoff In An Area Are: - amount of vegetation and non-permeable surfaces (development) - slope of land (grade) - duration and rate of rainfall - nature of ground (soil type) - soil saturation (moisture)
How does the soil type affect the rate of runoff?
a particular soil's ability to soak up moisture affects runoff rate. Sandy soils soak up a lot of water, so usually have a low runoff rate. Clay is very reluctant to take in water, so water runs off of it - it has a high runoff rate.
Which factors affect buffering capacity of soil?
mineralogy, soil organic matter, soil texture, type of clay, cation exchange capacity, base saturation
Do trees affect soil?
Trees affect the soil in a good way. They are an important part of erosion control. Tree roots bind the soil, while their leaves break the force of wind and rain on soil. They reduce water runoff and sediment deposit after storms, and conserve rainwater.
How does deforestation affect water quality?
Deforestation removes the trees that hold the soil in place. Surface runoff is increased and the water reaching lakes and streams is contaminated with soil, making the water less pure.

The amount of surface runoff increases as?
A number of factors. Soil saturation is one.
Deforestation increases the amount of water runoff which increases the rate of?
soil erosion
What problems affect the quality of Eastern Europe's soil?
agricultural runoff, landfills, and hazardous waste.

mineralogy, soil organic matter, soil texture, type of clay, cation exchange capacity, base saturation

How terracing helps?
It helps the soil from runoff.
How does deforestation affect water quality?
Deforestation removes the trees that hold the soil in place. Surface runoff is increased and the water reaching lakes and streams is contaminated with soil, making the water less pure.
What is the difference between surface runoff and through flow?
Throughflow is the tranfer of water through th soil. Surface runoff is the transfer of water where the soil is impermeable so the transfer of water is on top of the soil.
What is the impermeable bedrock?
The soil under the zone of saturation.
What is a large channel in the soil that carries runoff?
A landslide
