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
Water from precipitation that stays on the surface, such as in lakes or streams is "surface water." Water which is absorbed into the ground (and stored in aquifers) is "ground water."

Water that falls to the ground west of the continental divide flows to the west to end in the Pacific Ocean.Water that falls to the ground east of the continental divide flows to the east to end in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean.
Surface water flows downhill or seeps into the ground becoming groundwater. The natural flow of surface water is downhill or seaward. See the related link for more information.
