Subsurface Flow
…water may move via several paths.
…subsurface flow can be evaporated if there is a well maintained transfer mechanism to the surface. This is particularly true for areas of high ground water table (the free water surface of the groundwater) which is within the limits of the capillary action or transport abilities.
…Vegetation may also transpire or use the water.
…The subsurface flow may also continue to move with the groundwater table as a subsurface reservoir, which the natural system uses during periods of low precipitation.
