That depends a lot on the nature of the land and topopgraphy.
Some water runs off into streams.
Some is absorbed into the topsoil then taken up by plants.
Some sinks into an aquifer (possibly a cave in karst landscape) and rises from springs at lower altitudes.
Some if simply re-evaporates.
If the precipitation is snow on a mountain it may feed a glacier, though in time is released as melt-water feeding a river.

Describe how does precipitation occur and what determines the type of precipitation that falls to Earth?
Precipitation occurs due to the immense collection of water vapor in the form of clouds. When the water vapor in these clouds gets too heavy, it falls. If it's cold enough, it falls as snow, or sometimes hail. Usually, however, it falls as rain.
