Drainage System
-
Inputs
-
energy inputs
-
facilitate:
- movement of water
- process of erosion & transportation
which result shaping of channel and
landforms
input of
matter
Precipitation
any form of water moving
throughair towards surface:
- rain
- drizzle
- hail
- sleet
- snow
-
-
Outputs
-
-
-
Evaporation
process where liquid from various stores
(vegetation/surface storage) changed to
water vapour + released into atmosphere
- rate mainly affected by temperature
Transpiration
process where liquid water, from vegetation + plants, changed into water vapour + released into atmosphere
- rate affected vegetation type + moisture availability
Stores
D: regions in drainage basin system
in which water held period of time + where
energy + matter transported to and from
Surface Storage
where water temporarily stored on
surface before infiltration + reaching
soil storage - Eg. lakes + puddles
Vegetation Storage
where water from precipitation is
caught and held by vegetation before -
- stemflow
- throughfall
- then infiltration to reach soil storage
Soil Storage
where water that has infiltrated is
stored in surface layers of soil before:
-
Channel Storage
DISCHARGE - volume/amount of water moving
past certain point in river per second. Measured cumecs (m3/s)
SEDIMENT DISCHARGE - amount of sediment moved by river in given period of time
Transfers
-
Surface Runoff
occurs when soil saturated or infiltrated
to full capacity + excess water flows over
surface of land
-
-
-
-
-
Groundwater Flow
groundwater storage, in lower
layers of soil and bedrock, to river
-
