Size or scale is an important consideration. Some of the design features of the CSU Experimental Rainfall-Runoff Facility are discussed especially those which have been modified. Three classes of experiments are described. Experiments dealing with the flow hydraulics in the sheet of overland flow have been used to verify the kinematic wave theory and to define the character of roughness and resistance to flow. A second group of experiments have studied the erosion caused by the overland flow. These have contributed some experimental data on the evaluation of channel systems and the nature of sheet erosion. The third group of experiments have provided some data on the pollution hazards of spent oil shale residues resulting from both rainfall and snowfall.technical reportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
