The invention discloses a device and method for detecting runoff producing positions on a
karst slope surface. The two ends of a PVC
pipe are arranged in tee joints in a sleeved mode, the PVC
pipe is filled with a thin gauze element, a water inlet hole is drilled in the wall of the PVC
pipe, two ends of the tee joints are arranged in
water storage pipes with sealed ends and pipe caps respectively in a sleeved mode, and a water guide pipe with a pipe plug at the upper end is inserted into each pipe cap and extends to the lower end of the corresponding
water storage pipe. Based on slope
surface point selection, the device is buried according to slope positions and types of heterogeneous ecological niches; after each rainfall, the runoff producing situation is checked, a
water sample is collected, and basic water chemical indexes are measured; the runoff producing possibility of each point on the slope surface in a hydrologic year and the space-
time distribution of the water chemical indexes are comprehensively analyzed, and finally judgment on the runoff producing positions on the slope surface is finished. The device for detecting the runoff producing positions on the
karst slope surface is simple to manufacture, small in investment, and convenient and rapid to install, solves the problems occurring when a traditional research method is used for detecting the runoff producing positions on the
karst slope surface and other areas with discontinuous earth covers, and can provide a technical means for the aspects of reasonable utilization of limited
water resources, reasonable distribution of
land utilization,
vegetation recovery strategies and the like in the areas.
