Questions and Answers

What is the difference between prompt interflow and delayed interflow?

Prompt interflow has the least lag time, while delayed interflow has a longer lag time (correct)

Prompt interflow has a longer lag time than delayed interflow

Prompt interflow is surface runoff, while delayed interflow is groundwater flow

Prompt interflow is a form of baseflow, while delayed interflow is a form of direct runoff
