Process

Metric

Description

Surface process

Water Yield (mm)

The net amount of water that leaves the subbasin and contributes to streamflow in the reach

Surface runoff (mm)

Surface runoff contribution to streamflow during time step

Lateral Flow (mm)

Lateral flow contribution to streamflow

Soil water dynamics

Soil Water Content (mm)

Amount of water in the soil profile at the end of the time period

Groundwater dynamics

Percolation(mm)

Water that percolates past the root zone. There is potentially a lag between the time the water leaves the bottom of the root zone and reaches the shallow aquifer. Over a long period of time, this variable should equal groundwater percolation
