Powerpoint 5, Vary storm-to-storm - Coggle Diagram

- - - - SUbdued
        
        As it catches less water to move into the channel
    - - Flashy
        
        Theoretically, more flashy as it catches more water to move into the channel.
  - - - Subdued
        
        Different length tributaries allow water to arrive in main channel at different points
    - - Flashy
        
        Rain will 'hit' at the same time and will converege at a similar location in the channel
  - - - Flashy
        
        Infiltration rates low on steep valleys
    - - Subdued
        
        Infiltration rates are higher on gentle gradients
  - - - Flashy
      - Sun on the Northern side (or lack of) will leaf to less evaporation and less root uptake.
    - - Subdued
      - South-facing slopes receive more sunlight meaning that evaporation will occur
      - Southern slopes tend to have more things growing on them, meaning higher root uptake of water
  - - - High capacity to take in more and more water.
    - - Flashy
        
        Lower capacity due to it having fewer tributaries.
  - - - Subdued
        
        Water can percolate through rocks so it will run into the groundwater not the channel.
    - - Flashy
        
        Water cannot filtrate through the rocks so it will just run off the surface and into the channel
      - This will be very flashy
- - - - Flashy
        
        There is no real time for the water to infiltrate into the soil, meaning more surface runoff into the rivers
    - - Subdued
        
        There is time for the water to percolate into the soil and the ground, meaning less surface runoff.
  - - - Flashy
        
        Snow will all melt at once, meaning that it runs into the river together
        
        If there has been snow, the ground may be frozen meaning higher surface runoff
    - - Subdued
        
        Rainfall is steady and constant meaning that there is time for the soil to infiltrate.
  - - - Stores empty
        
        Subdued
        
        Very limited chance of flooding as stores are empty and have capacity to absorb water.
      - Stores full
        
        Flashy
        
        Stores are at capacity and cannot take any more water. it all ends up in the river.
  - - - Subdued
        
        Large canopy store to catch water
        
        Coniferous all year round
        
        Massive root systems in Coniferous trees.,
    - - Flashy
        
        Stores are reduced by lack of trees
        
        Less uptake as moorland grasses have small root systems
  - - - Stores are empty
        
        (Soil stores)
      - Canopy stores
      - Intense evapouration (intense sungliight)
      - Vegetation can take up significant amounts of water
  - - - Subdued
        
        Massive soil infiltration
    - - Drains take the water and dump it straight into the river
      - Impermeable surfaces lead to surface runoff (into drains)
      - The areas immediately after the city tends to flood.
