fI

Infiltration from the surface 

fEU

Evapotranspiration from the upper zone which is a fixed fraction of the un-used surface evaporation

fU

Percolation from the upper to lower zone which depends on the upper zone moisture content & depth dU

fEL

Evapotranspiration from the lower zone, which is a function of the depth of the upper zonedU

fL

Percolation from the lower zone to deep groundwater which depends on the lower zone depthdL

fG

Lateral groundwater interflow to the drainage system, which depends on the lower zone depth dL as well as the depth in the receiving channel or node
