Is surface flow and overland flow the same?

Surface flow and overland flow are related but not exactly the same. Surface flow generally refers to water that moves across the ground surface, including both overland flow and water from other sources like melting snow or rainfall that doesn't infiltrate the soil. Overland flow specifically describes the movement of water over the land surface when rainfall exceeds the infiltration capacity of the soil, leading to runoff. Thus, while all overland flow is surface flow, not all surface flow is classified as overland flow.
