Decreasing soil moisture in 30 cm root depth were 2.40 mm/day. The average value of interception varied between 0.51 mm and 4.32 mm or from 0.64% to 19.20%. Generally, the interception values increase with the increase of rainfall, yet the percent of intercepted rainfall decreased, also the interception decreased stemflow and throughfall. The throughfall were obtained varied from 5.00 mm to 87.47 mm or from 73.00% to 127.84%. The stemflow values of each rainy day were obtained varied from 0.38 mm to 7.45 mm. fewer than 1%, therefore the value used for measuring interception was adapted from research conducted by Purba (2007) i.e. The value of stemflow obtained in field observation was very low i.e. Stemflow and throughfall were increasing as the increase of rainfall. The results showed that there were 16 rainy days in 3 months period of observation which variation of daily rain from 4.83 mm/day to 95.53 mm/day. This research was aimed to determine interception, stemflow, throughfall, and evapotranspiration. Evapotranspiration is the loss of water through the soil and plant surfaces.

Besides the interception, the water loss can be caused by evapotranspiration. The loss of water through interception is an important part of the hydrologic cycle. Rainfall interception is a process of keeping temporarily of the rain water on vegetation before evaporated back into the atmosphere.
