A medium scale mobile rainfall simulator for experiments on soil erosion and soil hydrology
Original language description
Numerous types of rainfall simulators (RS) have been used to the study the behaviour of surface runoff and sediment transport caused by rainfall. It has been documented, that reproducibility and the knowledge of test conditions are essential for gathering necessary and comparable data. Therefore medium, to large scale field rainfall simulators are very desirable. A new, compact and mobile medium scale rainfall simulator has been developed under close cooperation of CTU Prague and Research Institute of Soil Conservation. It consists of an aggregate to produce power, an electric pump and a water tank with a capacity up to 1000 l. The pump can work in reverse mode, what allows filling the water tank from any source, including stream or pond. The capacityof the tank is normally sufficient for experiments with duration up to 30 minutes. The RS itself consist of a folding arm, which carries 4 nozzles (SS Full Jet 40WSQ), controlled by electromagnetic valves, which allow to set up desired ra
