Runoff ends up in lakes and rivers, straight from the "storm water systems" present along roads and other impervious surfaces (urbanization). Impervious surface reduces the amount of water seeping into the grounds (to make it to the aquifers-underground water used for drinking). The level of ground water will eventually lower, as it is not being recharged fully.
Vegetation reduces runoff, but a steeper slope increases it.
with wind it travels faster.. unlike when its hot it mostly evaporates.
Vegetation catches precipitation on its leaves, slowing it down or holding it for a while. This gives the ground more time to absorb the water, so there's less runoff.
Vegetation affects soil formation because vegetation influences the chemical and physical properties of the soil.
A watershed does not need any help.
Surface runoff and Subsurface runoff. Basically, above ground and below ground
A watershed is also called a drainage basin. An example of a sentence using the word "watershed" is "The watershed north of the Laurentian Divide drains into Hudson Bay and the Arctic Ocean, whereas the watershed south of the Laurentian Divide drains into the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. "
The amount of rainfall affects the flow of the streams within the watershed area, and ultimately how much water is stored in the watershed.
It effects it because runoff goes with the seasons and so does erosion so what ever happens to one will happen to the other.

A watershed is an area where all runoff goes to the same outlet.

hard question
Dinosaurs are real,
it rains 75mm on a 80900m2 watershed. what is the volume of the rainfall excess if 30% of the watershed area is a lake and infiltration on the soil is estimated at 25mm? what is the total volume of runoff? assume that the lake level is low and does not contribute to rainfall excess
