Water Balance Summary

A summary of the water balance for the simulated profile may be output at hourly or daily intervals. Values in mm for each output interval include: cumulative precipitation over the output interval; intercepted precipitation present on the canopy at the end of the interval; total evapotranspiration; total canopy transpiration; change in storage over the output interval within the canopy (not including intercepted precipitation), snow, residue, and soil layers; water lost to deep percolation by moving between the deepest two soil nodes within the soil profile; water lost to runoff; water ponded on the surface at the end of the output interval; cumulative evapotranspiration from the beginning of the simulation; and an error in the water balance for the time period.
