Rainfall Interception by Six Urban Tree Combination in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh

Abstract Urban forests in urban environments play a crucial role in mitigating the hydrological system. They help in intercepting the rainfall, enhancing infiltration, and reducing the surface runoff, thereby contributing to stormwater management. This study examines the effect of the tree characteristics on rainfall interception losses within the campus of the School of Planning and Architecture (SPAV), Vijayawada, three representing densely packed forest conditions with different species combinations, and three representing avenue plantations, in which two scenarios consist of the same tree species on both sides and one includes different species along the avenue. The rainfall was measured in seven different locations on the campus, where rainfall measurements were manually taken under the seven different selected trees during 3 different rainfall events. Across the three rainfall events, the interception rate varied notably between the vegetation types when compared to the open condition. The mixed forest setups showed the highest interception, with rainfall reduction ranging roughly between 35–63% compared to the open area, indicating strong canopy cover and foliage density. The same plant avenue type exhibited a moderate interception range of about 4–42%, while the mixed plant avenue showed the least interception, reducing rainfall by around 10–25%. Overall, forest conditions demonstrated greater interception efficiency than avenue arrangements due to their denser and more layered vegetation structure. The results indicated noticeable variation among the different tree species, primarily influenced by the canopy density, tree spread, height, and tree arrangement. The finding demonstrated that the vegetation structure significantly contributes to stormwater reduction and ecological resilience in the Urban locality.
