Description:

Surface run-off from areas adjacent to dirt roads may cause considerable damage to these roads. The degree of damage is determined from the amount of flowing water, run-off intensity as well as sites, in which run-off reaches the roads. These parameters result from soil conditions, as well as natural relief and the land form modified by tillage operations. Another parameter influencing the formation and the degree of erosion is connected with maintenance operations regularly repeated in the life cycle of these roads, such as e.g. surface levelling or use of paving materials. The analysis involved GIS tools, which made it possible to consider the impact of spatial variability in the surroundings of such roads on the incidence of adverse factors. The application of LiDAR data made it possible to indicate the formation of surface run-off routes and the resulting threats of damage to dirt roads.
