    Abstract: Soil hydrologic response depends on the soil characteristics such as infiltration capacity, porosity, organic matter content and bulk density. Knowledge on the dynamics of these soil parameters and soil hydrologic response as a result of different land use types is crucial for formulation and adoption of proper soil and water conservation technique...
