It is generally supposed that the water flow in massive spates occurring in small catchments areas have two components. The first one is the direct surface flow of the water from a preceding rain (new water) the second one is caused by the water “pending” in the soil already before the rain (old water) stimulated by the rain to flow out. The stimulated outflow has been studied in a series of experiments. It was found that in laboratory test, a situation where the stimulated outflow exceeds the stimulating inflow can be simulated in an easy way.
