2.6 Conclusions
27
rainfall event was transferred to the prototype one, which could predict the effect to
retain the soil by check dams.
The SSPM is suitable for the design of the check dam system on the Loess Plateau,
China. In this method, the ratio of the model geomorphological variables to the
corresponding prototype remains constant after rainfall events. Consequently, the soil
erosion processes in the prototype are reflected by the model experimental results.
Experimental data in the serial experiments verify that the SSPM can predict soil
conservation by a check dam system in a small watershed on the Loess Plateau,
China.
