Water discharged from the land that enters the sea either directly, or indirectly after passing through streams and rivers.
any amount of precipitation which is not absorbed by the land surface and so flows across
Movement of a pesticide from a treated field by surface water and eroding sediment. Loss of formulation off foliage during spray application, particularly at high volume. [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [ I-J-K] [] [ M-N] [ O-P] [ Q-R] [] [] [ U-V] [ W-X-Y-Z
Rainfall that does not permeate into the ground and does not fall straight into surface water (may also be described as overland flow).
The period after monsoon rains in the Top End of the Territory, usually March, April and May, when floodwaters run off the floodplains and out of the creeks and rivers.
water that drains off the land rather than absorbing into the earth Minnehaha: The Big Cover-Up
water from rain, melted snow or agricultural or landscape irrigation that flows over the land surface and discharges to surface waters.
The increase in water flow of rivers and streams caused by the melting of mountain snow or extra flow of water into a creek during and after rain storms
The part of precipitation water that runs off the land into streams or other surfacewater.
the portion of rainfall that is not immediately absorbed into the soil and which becomes surface flow.
Water which, having fallen, flows across the surface of the ground (or a landfill or other accumulation of material), picking up materials such as soil, agricultural chemicals and other transportable materials, continuing into a watercourse.
precipitation discharged into stream channels. Water that flows off the land surface with out sinking into the soil is surface run-off.
Precipitation that the ground does not absorb and that ultimately reaches rivers, lakes or oceans.
the portion of rainfall falling on a river catchment ( q.v.) which feeds into the river system
Water that flows over or through the land in a watershed.
the fraction of rainfall that is not absorbed by either plants or the ground
The build up of water occurring at ground surface level at times when rainfall cannot be absorbed by the soil, as particularly occurs in urban areas where the ground is covered by concrete and other non-permeable materials.
the surface water that flows over the ground and enters bodies of water, sometimes carrying soil and nutrients.
Water that flows over the surface of the ground rather than penetrating the soil.
Drainage or flood discharge that leaves an area as surface flow or as pipeline flow.
Rain or water, which flows from a catchment into a river, stream, lake or reservoir.
Uncontained liquid, either deposited on-site as rain, or in the context of the Buncefield incident, fuel and/or fire water not contained as part of the operation to control the incident.
