precipitation is 700mm of which 100mm is intercepted and evaporates ,100mmm runs off into stream . Of the remaining 500mm that infiltrates into the soil, 100mm percolates to the subsoil and recharges aquifers . Assume the maize crop has a total coverage of 100 hectares in a catchment,determine the contribution of the land to the annual downstream discharge of the catchment (note make use of all data given and give explanation)
