Abstract:
Clear water flow and sediment yield from simulated wheel ruts in a forest road were measured at
five different sites in the Northern Rocky Mountains. These measurements provided information on
the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor and Reynolds number relationship. The rill erodibility and
critical shear were also determined.
