Cumulative Infiltration given Total Precipitation Formula Elements

Variables
Cumulative Infiltration
The cumulative infiltration excluding initial abstraction is total amount of water that soil strata are able to absorb from rainfall or irrigation in a given time.
Symbol: F
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Total Precipitation
Total Precipitation is the sum of rainfall and the assumed water equivalent of snowfall for a given year.
Symbol: PT
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Initial Abstraction
Initial Abstraction is a parameter that accounts for all losses prior to runoff and consists mainly of interception, infiltration, evaporation, and surface depression storage.
Symbol: Ia
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Direct Surface Runoff
Direct Surface Runoff is the rain or meltwater that runs off during the rain or melt event as overland flow or in the vegetation cover above frozen soil.
Symbol: Q
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
