What is it about?
Rainfall-runoff erosivity determines to a large extent the severity of the water erosion problem. In this paper we used the basic water erosion theory to derive suitable rainfall-runoff erosivity factors to be used in water erosion prediction for single storm events. The derived factors were tested using data from natural runoff plots.

Why is it important?
No point source pollution is often associated with water erosion from single storm events. This paper allows for a proper selection of the rainfall-runoff erosivity factor used to have an estimate of water erosion from single storm events.
Perspectives
The natural runoff plot data used in this research were built and operated by the uthors with some help from our students. We enjoyed the time spent during this task. The lack of relevant data in the region made this project pioneer at the time.
