Description Hydrological monitoring is crucial to designing agricultural water management (AWM) interventions. This study
characterizes the soil hydraulic properties of Alfisols and Vertisols and develops rainfall-runoff-soil loss relationships
through long-term hydrological monitoring. Two types of landform management techniques, i.e.,
raised bed and flat bed, were followed in three paired watersheds of 2–5 ha, characterized by deep Vertisols,
medium deep Vertisols and Alfisols. Surface runoff and soil loss were monitored at the outlet of the respective
watersheds for 8–12 years. In addition, 29 infiltration tests were conducted using a tension disc infiltrometer by
applying a suction of
