Description :
The aim of this work is to investigate the ability of the flow to transport soil aggregates along a real rill at discharges below the formative discharge; and to analyse the influence of the rill pools on this transport process. This subject is an important issue as the transport capacity of rills is highly relevant for phenomena such as soil exportation from fields, catchment-scale sediment redistribution, and sedimentation in streams.
