Their reincorporation to agriculture allows a partial control of ground loss and offers an alternative solution for agriculture management. Rain simulation gives information about imbibition, infiltration, runoff and erodibility. The "quadrat point" method enabled us to observe the evolution of surface features (rugosity, crusting and sealing of porosity). We make three campaignsof simulation just after the soil preparation, before and after the harrowing. We observed the variations of hydrodynamic parameters and the evolution of superficial structural features. A rough soil preparation (coarse particle size) enhance the infiltration rate and reduce the soil loss. On the contrary, a fine sized preparation weakens the roughness and seals the porosity by a superficial crusting. Then the efficiency of the running water is enhaced.
