Abstract
Abstract Loss of water by interception during spells of rain is surveyed on an unorthodox experimental plot in a stand of mixed bush veld vegetation. The variables influencing interception loss are analysed. Net rainfall is assessed, and it found that an appreciable quantity of water during every storm is lost as a result of evaporation from, the vegetative cover. Apart from the density of the vegetation, this loss is influenced particularly by the duration and frequency of the precipitation, to such an extent that interception loss, for storms comparable in volume, differs by more than 200 percent.
