Orphan Rain Drops Drive Floods, Expert Suggests
Dr. W C Lowdermilk of the Soil Conservation Service told the American Geophysical Union that bare or eroded land forms a mud film that prevents absorption, causing orphan raindrops to run off into creeks and rivers. Experimental data from Zanesville Ohio showed 94 percent runoff on a gullied corn field, 66 percent on rotated fields, and 30 percent on a forest plot, implying one third of current flood rainfall could be retained by better land cover.
