Runoff
Empirical relationships between total rainfall and runoff allow comparisons to be
made between terraces. The relationships can also be used to produce estimates of
total runoff and runoff coefficients over the pre-monsoon and monsoon periods.
Rainfall/runoff relationships for all terraces in both 1992 and 1993 are shown in Fig.
7. The relationships are clearly non-linear and show that runoff is highly variable
between the terraces. Runoff coefficients (water running off the plot as a percentage
of the total volume of water entering by rainfall) for individual rainfall events varied
