Runoff
The water that flows in streams and rivers into the ocean and lakes is called runoff or freshwater.
Water that doesn't sink in but runs across the Earth's surface is called surface water. This includes rivers, streams, creeks, and runoff from rain or snowmelt that flows over the ground.
Surface water is water that flows or collects on the Earth's surface, including rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands. It plays a vital role in the hydrological cycle by replenishing groundwater, supporting ecosystems, and providing water for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use.
That is known as surface water. It can flow through rivers, streams, lakes, or other bodies of water above the ground.
Streams join together to become rivers. Then the water from the rivers and streams will eventually run into the ocean or a lake.
I believe that would be called RUNOFF water.

They are called naiads.
On the waters route back to the sea, it collects minerals and salts from the earths rocks and carries them back to the sea via rivers and streams.
Rivers and streams that flow in to a larger river are called tributaries. They all form in the same spot.

It is usually the other way round. Moving in the direction of water flow, streams merge together to form larger rivers, the streams are called the river's tributaries. The point of joining is called a "confluence".
