    is the boundary input, which is essentially the output watershed from adjacent, directly connected impervious areas; is the boundary output, which is also related to surface runoff, R, depending on where one chooses to define the exit point or points for the boundary output; P is precipitation;

  5. Antecedent moisture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antecedent_moisture

    Surface runoff in hydrologic systems is generally conceptualized as occurring from pervious and impervious areas. It is the pervious runoff that is affected by antecedent moisture conditions, as runoff from impervious surfaces such as roads, sidewalks, and roofs will not be significantly affected by preceding moisture levels. Pervious surfaces ...
