Transpiration was estimated frontchanges in soil-moisture storage, as measured by the neutron probe method.Provision lms made to measure surface runoff,' but there was none; injiltrationrates were well above maximum rainfall intensity. Although some of the data arenot complete, it is concluded that the tree vegetation loses relatively smallamount of water bv interception and transpiration in the dry season, for thereason that the roots have limited access to water.
