The volume of rainfall available for direct surface runoff.

It is equal to the total amount of rainfall minus all abstractions including interception, depression storage, and infiltration.

The amount of precipitation of any type (including the liquid equivalent of frozen hydrometeors); usually taken as that amount measured by means of a rain gauge (thus a small, varying amount of direct condensation is included).
