AB  - The rainfall interception loss in a tropical forest was investigated in this study. The 9 month data was
collected with 78 rainfall events, 73 events with throughfall and 72 events produced stemflow. Two study plots
were selected at Bukit Lagong Forest Reserve, Kepong, Selangor. The measured interception losses are
compared with the calculated intercepted losses compute by using original Gash Model. The study show that
the measured interception loss for Plot 11 and 12 is 305.8 mm and 269.11 and the calculated interception loss
is 364.27 and 318.8 mm, respectively.
