The relative spatial dimensions of outcrops and regolith in a given area controls the local water balance. A quantitative model shows that this control varies with climatic conditions, and in particular that a high outcrop to regolith ratio has a similar effect to that of a high annual rainfall. In semi-arid climates, the nature of the surface determines the availability of water through the year. key words: Granite landforms, water balance, etched surfaces CAD. LAB. XEOL.
