If the intensity of a storm is lower than the infiltration capacity of the soil, a. Infiltration is low, resulting in groundwater recharge and increased base flow. o b. Infiltration is low, resulting in little or no groundwater recharge and increased overland flow. Rainwater will first be infiltrated into the soil until the soil infiltration capacity is exceeded before overland flow is generated. d. Infiltration is high, resulting in lower groundwater recharge, increased base flow and higher overland flow.
