Abstract
One important part of the global hydrological system is a catchment, which separates rainfall into evaporation, overland flow, and infiltration. For a heavy rain, infiltration excess reaches the stream first as overland flow. Part of the infiltrated water may then flow rapidly below the surface to reemerge downslope or enter the stream. This is usually referred to as saturated subsurface flow. The rest reaches the unsaturated zone. The flow there is vertical and horizontal, and the latter component may eventually contribute to the stream flow. Another component that can contribute to the stream flow is horizontal flow in a perched water table above the bedrock. These processes are depicted schematically in Figure 6.1.
