2.6 Runoff and soil loss estimation
During 2018-2020, a Triangular weir and ‘float-gauge recorder (FGR)’ was installed at the outlet to quantify runoff and soil loss from the each treatment (Fig. 2b). Runoff water samples were gathered in the time of each rainfall event. These samples were brought to soil laboratory to quantify soil loss after oven drying (Fang et al., 1999). To analyze runoff from the experimental plots runoff chart fixed in SLR was used as per protocol detailed by Pathak et al. (2004).
