Wind can make significant changes in the physical characteristics of rains and hence in soil erosion processes. The rainsplash detachment and transport under wind-driven rainfall would differ from that under windless rain. The rainsplash transport may be a significant process to the extent that it may not be negligible in accurately predicting water erosion, and this process may result in a net transportation in the prevailing wind direction.
