Groundwater Storage
Water in the ground either in soil(soil moisture) or rocks.
5 of 23
Surface Storage
Water in puddles, lakes or ponds.
6 of 23
Vegetation Storage
Water that is taken up by plants
7 of 23
Interception
When precipitation lands on vegetation , buildings or concrete or tarmac before it reaches the soil.Interception storage is only temporary as the water quickly evaporates.

Precipitation
All the ways that moisture comes out of the atmosphere. Mainly rain but can also be snow , hail, dew or frost
