Construction and calibration of a portable rain simulator designed for the in situ research of soil resistance to erosion
Original language description
Land degradation caused by erosion processes is a widespread global problem. Rain simulators are one of the tools often used to determine the resistance of soils to erosion processes. The aim of this publication is to present the process of the construction and calibration of a small, portable field simulator which would be implemented in research studies designed to determine the changes in the soils shear strength parameters in forested areas in situ caused by a change in soil moisture content achieved by the rain simulation. The constructed simulator consists of a metal frame, sprayers with specific nozzles, a sediment funnel tray made of metal, water and a sediment collector unit, a water tank and pump, and a set of rubber hoses, manometer, valves, reducers, adapters and other supplementary equipment. The calibration was carried out by using the pluviometric method.
