Description :
This paper provides field information on how and when hydrologic connectivity is built up in semi-arid hillslopes. Two complementary approaches have been followed : 1) the extent to which soil moisture content correlates with topographic attributes, that quantify the local potential for drainage or flow accumulation, are examined at the seasonal time scale; 2) soil moisture dynamics and its relation to overland flow at the plot and first order catchment level have been analysed at a quasi-continuous time scale, during a selected rainfall event.
