“…The contribution of soil infiltration to annual SS yield treatment efficiencies is also important to note because Levine et al (2021) found infiltration rates in the ponding area to be lower than those outside the ponding area (Table 1). The results of this present study support previous findings that deposited sediments are able to clog soil pores and/or form a less permeable surface soil layer (Hendrickson, 1934;Reddi et al, 2000;Rice, 1974). Therefore, infiltration rates, and consequently SS yield treatment efficiencies, are likely to be highest in newly constructed DBs and will decrease over time and would likely decline faster in locations with higher erosion rates and greater SS loads deposited in DB ponding areas.…”

Erosion leading to sedimentation in surface water may disrupt aquatic habitats and deliver sediment-bound nutrients that contribute to eutrophication. Land use changes causing loss of native vegetation have accelerated already naturally high erosion rates in New Zealand and increased sedimentation in streams and lakes. Sediment-bound phosphorus (P) makes up 71-79% of the 17-19 t P y À1 delivered from anthropogenic sources to Lake Rotorua in New Zealand. Detainment bunds (DBs) were first implemented in the Lake Rotorua catchment in 2010 as a strategy to address P losses from pastoral agriculture. The bunds are 1.5-2 m high earthen stormwater retention structures constructed across the flow path of targeted loworder ephemeral streams with the purpose of temporarily ponding runoff on productive pastures. The current DB design protocol recommends a minimum pond volume of 120 m 3 ha À1 of contributing catchment with a maximum pond storage capacity of 10 000 m 3 . No previous study has investigated the ability of DBs to decrease annual suspended sediment (SS) loads leaving pastoral catchments. Annual SS yields delivered to two DBs with 20 ha and 55 ha catchments were 109 and 28 kg SS ha À1 , respectively, during this 12-month study. The DBs retained 1280 kg (59%) and 789 kg (51%) of annual SS loads delivered from the catchments as a result of the bunds' ability to impede stormflow and facilitate soil infiltration and sediment deposition. The results of this study highlight the ability of DBs to decrease SS loads transported from pastures in surface runoff, even during large storm events, and suggests DBs are able to reduce P loading in Lake Rotorua.

Soil‐erosion caused by rainfall and runoff and the transportation of sediment by surface‐runoff, of necessity, have been studied in an empirical manner because of the complexity and extent of the problems and the need for the development of useful working formulas from a limited, supply of data. Empirical formulas are generally restricted in their application, even within the range of the experimental data upon which they are based. Yet such formulae often are extrapolated beyond the limits of their validity. Solution of soil‐erosion problems, based on purely rational methods, would require many simplifications for a rigorous mathematical treatment. For the present, a combination of empirical and rational methods seems desirable. Correlation of the process of rational analysis with experimental observation permits evaluation of the factors in more or less the order of their importance and reduces the number of data necessary to the purely empirical approach.

“…It is believed chemical soil stabilizers maintain aoil porosity during precipitation events by binding the soil particles together (Buxton et al 1979). On untreated soils, particles detached by rain drop impact and surface runoff fill pores, restrict infiltration, and cause surface runoff (Hendrickson) 1938). Increases in soil moisture will benefit germination and plant growth.…”

This study provides a basis for comparing the effectiveness of 26 mulch and soil stabilizer treatments in reducing surface runoff and sediment yield. Square plots with no vegetative cover, a surface area of 4 square meters, and a slope of 10 degrees were used in this field study. Surface runoff and sediment yield were measured after rainfall events. The long fibered mulches--straw, shredded har-Owood bark,.Verd-Yo13 ,-and composted municiJ)al waste were the most effeCtive treatments. Wood fiber, wood cellulose, shredded paper, and Agro-mulch, the short fibered mulches, were not as effective but did reduce ~noff and sediment yield.when·applied at 1112 Kg ha-I._ When the rate of appliCation for wood fiber w&s in-. creased to 1668 Kg ha-1, a further reduction in sediment yield occurred, but there was no effect on surface runoff. Short fibered mulches applied.at .a rate of 556 Kg ha-1 with 278 L ha-1 of a soil stabilizer are effective alternative treatment&. Three polyvinyl acetate and three acrylic copolymer soil stabilizers were evaluated. The acrylic copolymers were acre effective than the polyvinyl acetates at application rates _of 562 L ha-1 and a 1 to 19 dilution rate. There was little difference between products when applied at 1124 L ha-1 and a 1 to 9-dilution rate. :All soil ·stabilizer treatments reduced sui-face runoff and aediment yield. These results, and evidence from other research, indicate that treatments may increase plant available moisture, reduce moisture loss.by evaporation, reduce surface soil temperatures, and reduce seed loss attributed to surface runoff or wind. These factors as well as the erosion -control potential of the materials de.Serve-equal consideratiotl.· when selecting treatments for a specific site or reclamation objective.
