Paper Summary

Interflow is an important part of water flow on sloped purple soil fields. Cultivation can increase the chance of interflow happening. Shallow soil and flat slopes make interflow more likely. Rainfall intensity affects interflow, with higher intensity leading to more interflow. Interflow happens after overland flow and shows as a curve with one peak.
