In hydrologic terms, the lateral motion of water through the upper layers until it enters a stream channel. This usually takes longer to reach stream channels than runoff. This also called subsurface storm flow.
Calls that flow out of the ACD to another site, a voice mail system, or telephone number that is not part of the ACD environment. When an ACD group cannot handle all the calls coming in, the call can be manually or automatically inter-flowed to another site. This feature allows calls to be rerouted to a predefined destination
Subsurface lateral flow that can enter streams quickly enough to contribute to the rising streamflow-hydrograph response to a storm.
flow of water through the upper soil layers to a ditch, stream, etc.
The lateral movement of a significant amount of water through the soil above the regional water table.
The lateral movement of water below ground but above the water-table, caused by horizons of low permeability.
the subsurface flow of groundwater between catchments (watersheds).
Shallow infiltration to the soil, from where it may infiltrate vertically to an aquifer, move horizontally to a watercourse or be stored and subsequently evaporated.
The lateral movement of water in the zone between the soil surface and the water table during and immediately after a precipitation event. Interflow water discharges directly into a surface water body.
Lateral movement of water in the upper layer of soil.
The water, derived from precipitation, that infiltrates the soil surface and then moves laterally through the upper layers of soil above the water table until it reaches a stream channel or returns to the surface at some point downslope from its point of infiltration. Although readily defined, interflow is difficult to measure and quantify. Compare subsurface flow.
In hydrology, interflow is the name given to the lateral movement of water in the vadose zone, the name given to the area between the soil water which is above and the ground water underneath.
