Abstract

The results of modelling of surface runoff, washing off of soil, transport and deposition of alluviums within the
limits of Nikolaevka small flat-bottom valley watershed (south of the Odessa region) with usage of the Limburg
Soil Erosion Model (LISEM) are presented. The problem of the sediment delivery ratio estimation is considered.
It is shown, that the sediment delivery ratio changes not only with the change of area of watershed but also
depending on probability of thundershower, which formed runoff.
