Outputs: evaporation, evapotranspiration and river discharge.

Stores: interception, soil water, surface water, ground water, and channel storage.

below ground – infiltration, percolation, throughflow, groundwater, and baseflow.

Underground water: water tables, ground water, recharge, and springs.
