E.g. rain, snow, hail, dew, frost. 1 of 19 Output - Evaporation Water turning into water vapour. 2 of 19 Output - Transpiration Evaporation from plant leaves. 3 of 19 Output - Evapotranspiration Process of evaporation and transpiration together. 4 of 19 Flow and process - Surface runoff Water flowing over land over whole surface of small channels. Common in arid areas. 5 of 19 Flow and process - Throughfall Water dripping from one leaf to another. 6 of 19 Flow and process - Stemflow Water running down stem of a tree trunk. 7 of 19 Flow and process - Throughflow Water moving downhill through soil. 8 of 19 Flow and process - Infiltration Water soaking into soil. 9 of 19 Flow and process - Percolation Water seeping into water table. 10 of 19 Flow and process - Groundwater flow Water flowing below water table through permeable rock. 11 of 19 Flow and process - Baseflow Groundwater that feeds into a river channel. 12 of 19 Flow and process - Interflow Water flowing above water table through permeable rock. 13 of 19 Flow and process - Channel flow Water flowing in the river channel 14 of 19 Storage - Interception Temporary store. Precipitation lands on vegetation or buildings before reaching soil. Significant store in woodland areas. 15 of 19 Storage - Vegetation storage Water taken up by plants. 16 of 19 Storage - Surface storage Water in puddles, ponds, lakes. 17 of 19 Storage - Groundwater storage Water stored in the ground, in soil or rocks. 18 of 19 Storage - Channel storage Water in a river or stream. 19 of 19
