Hypsometry of drainage basins (area±elevation analysis) has generally been used to infer the stage of geomorphic development and to study the influence of varying forcing factors (i.e. tectonics, climate, lithology) on topography. However, the scale dependence of hypsometry has generally been neglec

Waterlogging and salinity in the Indus Basin of Pakistan are major threats to sustainable agriculture. Drainage measures adopted earlier were not only expensive and non-environmentally friendly but also failed to involve the farming community. During the last three decades, 13 small tile drainage sy
## Abstract Sediment tracers were used to quantify erosion from cultivated fields and identify major source areas of channel bottom sediment within the Wildhorse Creek drainage, an intensively cropped tributary of the Umatilla River in northeastern Oregon, USA. Available data indicated that Wildhor
The contributions of sediment from different geomorpholigical units within a small basin in the Loess Plateau have been determined using caesium-137 as a tracer. The mean caesium-137 content of sediment originating from the hill area, where sheet and rill erosion are predominant, was 3.37Bq kg-I, wh
This paper reports the results of an investigation of the erosional response of the 3 . 86 km 2 Zhaojia Gully catchment in the rolling loess plateau region of Zichan County, Shaanxi Province, China. In the absence of direct measurements, information derived from reservoir deposits and from caesium-1
