Surface water consists of all water that is naturally exposed to the atmosphere including creeks, ponds, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, seas and oceans. Also in this category are springs and wells that are directly influenced by surface water sources.
Groundwater is water found beneath the Earth's surface that gradually seeped down by saturating soil or rock. This water is stored in underground crevices and in the pores of rocks and other materials beneath the surface.

What is the Difference between the surface and subsurface?
The difference between surface run-off and subsurface run -off is that surface run-off is that when it is precipitation the water goes on the ground like a river and lake. The water that goes on the top of the ground is going to the oceans. The subsurface run-off is that when it is preciptation the water
When does ground water become surface water?
When the ground water flow out of the earth surface as a form of spring.
What is the difference between runoffs and sheet erosion?
Sheet erosion is a type of surface water, and runoff is any water that does not soak into the ground.
What is the difference between a stream and a spring?
A stream is water runing along the ground through a trench in a down hill direction. A spring is water coming from under the ground to the surface.
