摘要: There is a critical lack of knowledge regarding the dynamics streamflow generation in semi-arid tropics, particularly Africa. In this project runoff mechanisms forested and non-forested degraded catchments northern Tanzania were studied using combined hydrometrical hydrochemical methods. Following identification several flowpaths contributing to runoff, hydrograph separation by an end-member model based on K Ca was undertaken. Results from catchment indicate that stormflow dominated event water (about 75%), via overland flow throughflow. The proportion pre-event (groundwater) displaced into stream suggested riparian groundwater ridge mechanism varied, depending rainfall characteristics. non-forested, catchment, nearly all water, discharge unaffected rainfall. It macropore pivotal transmission throughflow, tropical areas.
