Runoff Generation from Shallow Water Table Southeastern Forests: Unusual Behavior of Paired Watersheds Following a Major DisturbancePublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: 2012 Dallas, Texas, July 29 - August 1, 2012 121337045.(doi:10.13031/2013.42110)Authors: Thomas M Williams, Devendra M Amatya, Anand D Jayakaran, Bo Song, Carl C Trettin, Ken Krauss, Herbert S Ssegane Keywords: Atlantic–Gulf coastal plain, Hurricane Hugo, evapotranspiration, water table, stand water use Shallow water table soils are common in the forested watersheds of the southeastern Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States. The process of runoff generation is still poorly understood on these low-gradient watersheds, where soil saturation is common across the watershed. Storm runoff varies widely from none to over 70 percent of rainfall, and is believed to be related to antecedent soil water, and depression storage. Understanding runoff generation is critical in these watersheds because of the dual threat of booming coastal development and climate change. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
