Here is how the Interception Loss equation looks like.

1.2 = 1.2 + (2 \cdot 2.5 \cdot 1.5)

1.2mm = 1.2mm + (2 \cdot 2.5mm/h \cdot 1.5h)

1.2 = 1.2 + (2 \cdot 2.5 \cdot 1.5)

Interception Loss Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Interception Loss?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

I i = S i + (K i \cdot E r \cdot t)

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

I i = 1.2mm + (2 \cdot 2.5mm/h \cdot 1.5h)

Next Step Convert Units

∴

I i = 1.2mm + (2 \cdot 6.9E-7m/s \cdot 1.5h)

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

I i = 1.2 + (2 \cdot 6.9E-7 \cdot 1.5)

Next Step Evaluate

∴

I i = 0.00120000208333333m

Next Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

I i = 1.20000208333333mm

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

I i = 1.2mm

How to Evaluate Interception Loss?

Interception Loss evaluator uses Interception Loss = Interception Storage+(Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area*Evaporation Rate*Duration of the Rainfall) to evaluate the Interception Loss, The Interception Loss formula is defined as the difference between the precipitation occurring over an area and the part that reaches the soil. Interception Loss is denoted by I_i symbol.

How to evaluate Interception Loss using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Interception Loss, enter Interception Storage (S_i), Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area (K_i), Evaporation Rate (E_r) & Duration of the Rainfall (t) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Interception Loss

What is the formula to find Interception Loss?

The formula of Interception Loss is expressed as Interception Loss = Interception Storage+(Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area*Evaporation Rate*Duration of the Rainfall). Here is an example- 1200.002 = 0.0012+(2*6.94444444444444E-07*5400).

How to calculate Interception Loss?

With Interception Storage (S_i), Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area (K_i), Evaporation Rate (E_r) & Duration of the Rainfall (t) we can find Interception Loss using the formula - Interception Loss = Interception Storage+(Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area*Evaporation Rate*Duration of the Rainfall).

Can the Interception Loss be negative?

No, the Interception Loss, measured in Length cannot be negative.

Which unit is used to measure Interception Loss?
