Abstract
Patterns of runoff generation and sediment yield in a small badland drainage basin show that localized rainstorms of short duration transport substantial amounts of sediment into the Red Deer River. Experimental plot studies indicate that the threshold precipitation necessary to initiate runoff varies greatly with lithology. Despite lithologic differences, spatial variation in rainfall and highly complex topography, good correlation was noted between between sediment yields assessed by different methods. Although great annual and seasonal variations in sediment yield occur, the overall pattern of erosion rates is remarkably consistent.
