Measurements of interception loss from a nine year old plantation of Eucalyptus camaldulensis in Karnataka, southern India, are described. Annual interception losses are low, {approximately}10% of the rainfall, compared with many other tree species. The results are used to optimize the parameters in a detailed stochastic model operating on hourly data. This model is used to develop a simpler daily model allowing the extrapolation of the results no longer time periods and the prediction of interception loss using only measurements of daily rainfall. The implications of these results are considered in the context to the total water use of eucalypt plantation.
