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 2, English, - depression%20storage
