runoff: rainwater or snowmelt which flows over the surface of the ground without seeping into the soil
runoff: (1) The portion of rainfall that is not absorbed by the deep strata and not lost to vegetation or evaporation It is that which finds its way into streams as surface flow (2) The total stream discharge of water (quantity or rate), including both surface and sub surface flow, usually expressed in acre feet or in cubic feet per second per square mile of drainage area
runoff: (1) That part of the precipitation, snow melt, or irrigation water that appears in uncontrolled surface streams, rivers, drains or sewers Runoff may be classified according to speed of appearance after rainfall or melting snow as direct runoff or base runoff, and according to source as surface runoff, storm interflow, or ground-water runoff (2) The total discharge described in (1), above, during a specified period of time (3) Also defined as the depth to which a drainage area would be covered if all of the runoff for a given period of time were uniformly distributed over it
runoff: the occurrence of surplus liquid (as water) exceeding the limit or capacity
runoff: That part of the precipitation that appears in uncontrolled surface streams, drains, or sewers It is the same as streamflow unaffected by artificial diversion, imports, storage, or other works of man in or on the stream channels

runoff: n: Surface water effluent (usually from precipitation but may be from human activities such as irrigation) that moves too quickly to be absorbed into the ground It flows down contour gradients to enter stream and river systems, carrying with it anything light enough to be borne in the volume of water, which may be light after a small rain or tremendous in the wake of a storm, when even large boulders and trees get swept up in the runoff When runoff travels over deforested or unplanted agricultural lands, it carries away large quantities of topsoil Runoff from agricultural areas often carries heavy doses of biocides , fertilizers, and other nutrients, which can lead to eutrophication when introduced into aquatic systems

runoff: Water from rain or irrigation that flows across, rather than into, the land Runoff increases as the amount of impervious surfaces increases Runoff often carries pollutants, such as pesticides, excess nutrients, and sediments It is a major vehicle for nonpoint source pollution In undeveloped forest land, little rain runs off as plant cover and roots allow rainwater to seep slowly into the soil In developed suburban and urban land, the increased amount of impervious surfaces decreases the absorption of rainfall and increases runoff Runoff flushes pollutants contained on the impervious surfaces and in the rainwater itself into nearby streams High amounts of runoff can erode stream banks and cause flooding After reaching the receiving water body, pollutants from runoff degrade water quality
runoff: the flow of water from the land to oceans or interior basins by overland flow and stream channels
runoff: The flow across the land surface of water that accumulates on the surface when the rainfall rate exceeds the infiltration capacity of the soil
runoff: Water from rain, snowmelt, or irrigation that flows over the ground surface and returns to streams, “running off” the land to the stream It includes the water and everything it picks up along the way
runoff: The portion of the precipitation on the land which ultimately reaches the streams especially the water from rain or melted snow that flows over the surface
