| This is an area of land drained by a river and its tributaries | Drainage basin | 23%
|
| This applies to any water store that has reached its maximum capacity | Saturated | 20%
|
| The portion of precipitation intercepted by the canopy that reaches the ground by flowing down stems, stalks or tree bole | Stemflow | 20%
