Water erosion and supply of material for fluvial transport under episodic surface flow conditions in the semi-arid zone on Boa Vista (Cabo Verde)

This paper presents the effects of the natural conditions of the semi-arid zone on the tem-poral and spatial variability of production and supply of material for fluvial transport under conditions of episodic surface flow. Based on measurements of water runoff, concentration of suspension and dissolved material in the course of a one-hour rainfall, it has been determined that the catchments under study have a considerable resistance to the effects of water erosion. Some protection is supplied by the ablation pavement, which reduces rainsplash and slopewash and prevents flow concentration. Consid-erably more erosion has been noted on unpaved roads concentrating water flow even on plateaux and gently inclined slopes. Obviously the potential for leaching rock material in short-duration flow is limited. Large proportions of the dissolved material carried away from the catchments are salts of marine and aeolian provenance. The high intensity of erosional processes in the early phase of runoff is evidence of the role of physical weathering between rainfalls, which supplies the material for fluvial transport

Geomorphological effects of the catastrophic drainage of artificial reservoir in the Młynówka valley at Górowo Iławeckie, Poland

The problem concerns the catastrophic flood flow caused by the breaking of the dam of the artificial reservoir in the valley of the small river Młynówka Górowska. Extensive studies were focused on the section just below the broken dam, were the geomorphological effects of that event were most noticeable. A number of erosional and accumulative forms have been distinguished. The structure and grain size of the flood deposits have been studied. The occurrence of deposit sequences characteristic of slurry-flows has been found. The rapid fall of the flood wave was associated with the deposition of the coarser deposit fractions on the sides of the valley and of the finer ones on its floor
