Abstract

Soil erosion in Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.), Canada occurs mainly in the cool period of fall to spring during which potato lands are particularly vulnerable. Parshall flumes and associated automatic sediment samplers were installed on three commercially farmed sub-watersheds of 40, 203 and 420 ha upstream of a gauging site in the predominantly potato-growing area of the Wilmot River watershed in central P.E.I. Discharge and time of sampling are recorded on a datalogger which also records data from a set of erosion plots and meteorologic instrumentation at each of the three sub-watersheds. The design and calibration of the watershed monitoring installations are described, with special emphasis on cool-period reliability of measuring and recording. The erosion plot installations are described in a companion paper
