2. After water infiltrates the soil it can take three different routes: matrix flow, pipeflow and

  • Stemflow
  • Overland flow
  • Throughflow
  • Macropore flow
  • Micropore flow

3. What is matrix flow?

  • Water moves through larger cavities in the soil
  • Water moves through small soil pores
  • Water moves through small cracks and roots channels

4. Pipeflow is when water moves through larger cavities in the soil

  • True
  • False

  • River discharge, interception, groundwater
  • Soil water, Groundwater, Channel and surface storage
  • Channel and surface storage, groundwater and river discharge
  • Channel and surface storage, interception, soil water
  • Channel and surface storage, evaporation, interception
