This limiting situation for the equation is inconvenient for two reasons: First, whatsoever it is a very used equation due to its simplicity and to the fact that involve geomorphologic parameters, without requiring tracers. Secondly but not the less important, because it is based on fundamental mechanisms that are widely accepted, and then they should not lead to results in conflict with experiments.
