Conditions d'apparition du ruissellement dans les cultures annuelles de la région lémanique. Relation avec le fonctionnement des exploitations agricoles

Abstract: Summary — Frequency of runoff in the cropped area of the French basin of Lac Léman. Agricultural runoff from the Chablais region of France, is believed to contribute to the pollution of the waters of Lac Leman (Lake Geneva). This study aimed at determining which factors influence the frequency of runoff from agricultural lands. Two hundred agricultural fields under a wide diversity of agricultural practices were monitored during a winter and a summer period. For each field the kinetics of formation of su… Show more

“…The subsoil of the watershed consists of an impervious calcareous till which favours surface runoff and subsurface flow to the detriment of deep percolation [19]. Because of the gentle slopes and short length of the fields, runoff is generally not able to concentrate and erosion rarely leads to shallow gullies in the fields [71]. Urban impervious surfaces (roofs and roads) cover 9 ha.…”

“…However, erosive runoff is spatially limited and temporarily confined [23,30]. Other hydrological transfer pathways, non-erosive surface runoff [9,71] and subsurface flow or deep flow mobilise, in theory, only SP and, exceptionally, fine particles. SP always comes from exchanges and solubilisation phenomena which occur as soon as water is in contact with soil or suspended solids [51,54,61,73].…”

“…This process is known to reduce the in®ltrative capacity of many soils in the temperate zone of Europe (Boin et al, 1988). Additionally, surface compaction by farm machinery during sowing and harvesting can further reduce in®ltration capacity (Vansteelant et al, 1997). When soil moisture levels are low during dry periods or when plant growth is initiated, surface cracking can occur to increase in®ltration capacity dramatically.…”

“…Low soil moisture levels and relatively undeveloped soil crusting results in a low potential for runo during the summer months. The seasonal variations in the potential for runo are shown in Figure 2C (Vansteelant et al, 1997). Land use in the Foron River watershed is diverse (Figure 1) with 50, 36, 10 and 4% of the watershed area being in natural forests, agriculture, urban use (villages and roads) and marshes, respectively (Dorioz and Orand, 1996).…”
