Leuven, Redingenstraat 16, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium 3 Fund for Scientiï¬c Research, Flanders, The Netherlands The experiments described in Salles and Poesen (2000) focused on the detachment of soil particles from a bare soil surface by raindrop impact and their subsequent transport by raindrop splash. The selected experimental set-up, i.e. simulated rain and the use of splash cups, allows the measurement of a combination of both processes involved in the soil movement during raindrop impact: i.e. detachment by raindrop impact and transport by drop splash outside the splash cup. It would be almost impossible to differentiate between the two erosion subprocesses. As Hillel (1998) noted âThe abrupt collision of drops with the soil has the impact and effect of a miniature bomb: it detaches and splashes soil particlesâ. In Kinnellâs (1982) study, the simulated rain was made up of drops, all having the same drop size. In such experimental conditions rain intensity (I ) will be proportional to D3 , if D is the unique drop diameter of the rain. The square of the mass of an individual drop is
