Analysis of infiltration and surface runoff in river Njoro watershed using a rainfall simulator
Land use influence on hydrology has generated interest worldwide,especially in developing countries, where forest areas have been converted to other land uses including,agriculture and grazing.Hydrological changes in River Njoro watershed have been attributed to deforestation, intensive cultivation, and overgrazing.These changes have led to increase of surface runoff and reduction of infiltration.The objective of the study was to assess the effect of land use treatment on infiltration and surface runoff using a rainfall simulator and runoff plots.
