Abstract
Based on the fact that the concentration flowlines of overland flow depend on the surface landform of hillslope a kinematic wave model was developed for simulating runoff generation and flow concentration caused by rainfall on hillslopes. The model-simulated results agree well with the experimental observations. Applying the model to the practical case of Maoping slope we obtained the characteristics of runoff generation and infiltration on the slope. Especially the simulated results adequately reflected the confluent pattern of surface runoff which offers a scientific foundation for designing the drainage engineering on the Maoping slope.
