This paper concerns a program to describe and analyze rock materials along Massachusetts highways. The strength of these materials and any susceptibility to failure depend on their composition and structure, as well as on hydrologic conditions and steepness of the slopes. The program will involve th

## Abstract A model describing the threeβdimensional matrix flow along a slope with rock fragments or impermeable blocks was developed. The model was combined with modified Picard's iteration to ensure mass conservation in the unsaturated flow. We found that rock fragments obstruct water flow along
## Abstract Surface rainfall distributions over North and South Wales are derived using a numerical parameterization model. Several different grid lengths are used which allow the dependence on grid length of areal rainfall produced by the model to be examined. It is found that as the grid length i
