La rétention de surface comprend toute l'eau accumulée sur, ou au-dessus du sol. Elle comprend l'eau interceptée qui est la fraction de la pluie retenue par le couvert végétal [...] et le stockage superficiel qui est celle emmagasinée dans les dépressions du sol. Toute l'eau captée dans les dépressions de surface, des plus petites, dues à la rugosité du sol, aux plus grandes plaines inondées, lacs, marais, étangs, etc., est désignée comme le stock d'eau de surface. 1, record 2, French, - stockage%20superficiel

Depression Storage. This process is defined as the amount of total precipitation detained in and evaporated from depressions on the land surface. Depression storage is water that does not run off or infiltrate. Surface type and slope, and the factors influencing evaporation affect depression storage. Because of its small magnitude, depression storage is not likely to be important in urban stormwater investigations. 3, record 3, English, - depression%20storage
