Mulching (acre) 484 <br /> Planning considerations for water quantity and quality <br /> Quantity <br /> 1. Effects on the water budget, especially on volumes and rates of runoff, <br /> infiltration, evaporation, and transpiration. <br /> 2. Variability of the practice's effects caused by seasonal weather variations. <br /> 3. Effects of increased cover on soil moisture. <br /> 4. Potential for changes in plant growth and transpiration because of changes in <br /> the soil water volume. <br /> Quality <br /> 1. Effects on erosion and the movement of sediment and soluble and sediment- <br /> attached substances carried by runoff. <br /> 2. Effects on the visual quality of downstream water resources. <br /> f <br /> SCS Supplement October 1988 <br />
