Description :
Soil hydrology was investigated, during a drought period, in the Guadelperalón experimental watershed in order to determine the influence of land use and vegetation cover on runoff and infiltration within the Deseha land system. Five soil-vegetation units were selected : tree cover, sheep trials, shrub cover, hillslope grass and bottom grass. The importance of the soil water repellency on surface runoff generation is highlighted.
