- 2. Hydrologic Budget • Canopy interception is the rainfall that is intercepted by the canopy of a tree and successively evaporates from the leaves. Precipitation that is not intercepted will fall as throughfall or stemflow on the forest floor.
- 3. Hydrologic Budget • precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail. • Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.
- 4. Hydrologic Budget • transpiration • (of a plant or leaf) the exhalation of water vapour through the stomata • infiltration (hydrology) Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. … • Depression Storage. Depression storage refers to small low points in undulating terrain that can store precipitation that otherwise would become runoff.
- 5. Hydrologic Budget • Surface runoff is water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface, and is a major component of the water cycle. Runoff that occurs on surfaces before reaching a channel is also called overland flow. • Groundwater is water that is found underground in cracks and spaces in the soil, sand and rocks.
- 6. Hydrologic Budget • Subsurface flow, in hydrology, is the flow of water beneath earth's surface as part of the water cycle. In the water cycle, when precipitation falls on the earth's land, some of the water flows on the surface forming streams and rivers. • Streamflow, or channel runoff, is the flow of water in streams, rivers, and other channels, and is a major element of the water cycle.
- 7. Hydrologic Budget • A water budget comprised of the components of the hydrologic cycle can be formulated. It is an. accounting of the inflow, outflow and storage of water in a designated hydrologic system. • percolation is the flow of water through soil and porous or fractured rock.
