Micro-field assessment of soil erosion and surface runoff using mini rainfall simulator in upper River Njoro watershed.
The preliminary results of an assessment of land use effect on soil erosion and surface runoff in a severely degraded watershed in Kenya are presented here. Soil erosion and surface runoff was higher in the non-forested lands (deforested, agriculture and grazing lands) than in the forested (indigenous and exotic) lands.
