Instructions: Save this UTF-8 text file and fill in the fields in any text editor. Keep dated source references with the completed record. Blank fields are prompts for your information.

Use this sheet to evaluate a named study or project. Keep all water terms on a common area and time basis.
Site / catchment / elevation / exposure:
Question or promised outcome:
Study or project source / date / observation period:
Rainfall method / fog-interception method:
Canopy and vegetation characteristics:
Measured quantities:
Modeled quantities or residual estimates / uncertainty:
Water terms and units / common area / common period:
Fictional simplified annual canopy budget in mm:
rainfall 1500 + captured fog 300 - canopy evaporation 250 = 1550 below canopy,
assuming negligible net canopy-storage change. This combines throughfall and stemflow.
Additional terms needed to estimate streamflow or recharge:
Storage assumptions / unexplained balance:
Intervention / land manager / local participation:
Baseline / comparison / outcome indicators:
Seasonal evidence / model validation:
Finding supported / remaining uncertainty / next observation:
Maintenance responsibility / review date:
