It is called a meniscus.
"surface tension"
Where the ground water leakage direction meet into the surface water is called Base flow.
The water will be calm, because a change in density causes water to move and can also cause deep water currents
Water has a property called "surface tension". This causes the surface molecules to be attracted to each other so as to form a 'skin' on the surface. This will allow an object that is heavier than water to appear to "float" on the surface, but NOT due to bouyancy alone. If you were to put a surfactant (soap) in the water it would eliminate the Surface Tension, and the floating arrowhead would then sink.
runoff
A meniscus is the curvature of the surface of the water. Water "sticks" to the walls of the graduated cylinder, but only on the sides and not the middle, so you measure water from the meniscus

accumulation
Mass movements of water are called currents. This is equally true for surface water or deeper water.
