Water flooding induced by heavy rainfalls or river floods can harm agricultural soils. In particular, it leads to soil erosion and thus soil losses by high rates of surface runoff. Therefore, mitigation of the negative effects of flooding on soils is strongly needed. In this context, the soil infiltration capacity was considered as an important parameter in decreasing the surface runoff by increasing the water infiltration into the soil, and thus enhancing the soil protection against water erosion.weiterlesen
