Soil erosion in the Texas blackland has caused widespread and spectacular damage since the land was first plowed, about 1860. - Soil erosion has been the subject of investigations at the Blacklands Soil and Water Conservation Experiment Station, Temple, Tex., which since 1931 has operated jointly by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station and the United States Department of Agriculture. Demonstrations in the practical control of soil erosion have also been conducted on projects of the Soil Conservation Service at Temple and Garland, Tex.
The application of the Soil Conservation Services (SCS) urban hydrology techniques is made to four watersheds. The parameters of the methods are obtained from standard SCS guidance and from calibration of watershed model HEC-1 using the SCS method. A modified method of determining these parameters is also recommended to SCS. Runoff parameters are then used with design storms to illustrate the differences in frequency curves which may result.
