What happens to runoff water?

Why do farmers practice terraced farming?
designed as a method of soil conservation to slow or prevent the rapid surface runoff of irrigation water.
Does increasing deforestation cause more flooding?
When trees are present they take up some of the water into their trunks and leaves and transpire it back into the atmosphere as water vapor, thus reducing runoff. When the trees are removed water that would other wise be transpired becomes runoff which flows into streams. The more runoff enters a stream, the greater the chances of a flood occurring.
What is snowmelt runoff?
