Description :
The aim of this study was to contribute to the elaboration of an expert-based runoff prediction model able to simulate the influence of soil conservation practices in the context of loess soils susceptible to crusting. Experiments have been implemented both in the laboratory and in the field at various scales ranging from small plots up to catchments. For the area of the Pays-de-Caux (Normandie, France), the AA. defined 5 potential infiltrability classes. The objective of this paper is to describe the elaboration of the model called Sealing and Transfer by Runoff and Erosion related to Agricultural Management (STREAM)
