It may seep into the ground, or run off into natural rivers or man-made drainage systems, or else it may be an amount greater than the capabilities of these systems to let it run off, and will result in flooding.

Rain washes the ground, and most of that wash water forms streams and rivers, which lead to lakes and seas. Aside from the microbes that live in soil, pesticides, weed killers, and similar poisons when they are overused can cause big problems when they get washed into a water source.

Does rainwater have oil in?

Rain water that falls from the sky should not have oil in it, unless the sky is polluted. However, the rain water that lands in a barrel, or some other container, could have oil in it, because the ground is contaminated with oil, or the barrel (container) has oil in it. Most rain water that falls from the sky is clean, but, when it lands, it can get polluted with oil. Acid raid is another problem with rain water, which occurs again because the sky overhead is polluted.
