Abstract:The sediment yield of a drainage basin during flood events has a remarkable impact on a desert ecosystem. While sediment yield increases the destructive impact of the flood, it also influences the recovery of disturbed surfaces downslope from source areas in desert landscapes. For environmental change and flood mitigation, it is important to evaluate the sedimentary yield of drainage basins. The current study proposes a simple method to qualitatively evaluate sediment yield of ungauged drainage basins in arid … Show more
