Usually not, it causes erosion of soils.
To be helpful the water should absorb into the ground.
water runoff causes erosion by beating the surface of the land
accelerated urban development and land disturbance reducing the land's ability to absorb runoff
Runoff can significantly increase the rate of erosion by carrying sediment and pollutants away from the land surface. When runoff flows quickly over the land, it can pick up soil particles and transport them to nearby water bodies, leading to erosion of the land. The more runoff that occurs, the more erosion can potentially happen as it carries away valuable topsoil.
It is called runoff
Because, the land is above sea level, and the sea s at sea level so it runs to the lowest point due to gravity.
A non example of runoff is groundwater because groundwater, the water flows under the ground and as for runoff the water flows over the land's surface
When rain is heavy and land is inclined , it rolls into stream. It is known as runoff.
I believe that would be called RUNOFF water.

Specific runoff refers to the amount of water that flows over the land into streams and rivers as a result of precipitation. It is typically measured as the volume of water that flows over a specific area of land in a given time period. Specific runoff is an important factor in hydrology studies and helps determine the potential for flooding in an area.
