One of the factors that determine whether water infiltrates is the nature of the surface. Another factor that determines is the elevation of the surface or its shape.

What is construction runoff?
runoff caused by construction working
What determines the amount of potential required to forward bias a unijunction transistor?
Intrinsic Stand-off Ratio
What is the difference between infiltration and runoff?
infiltration is different because when it happens the rain soaks underground it doesn't fall back into bodies of water like runoff does.
What is a BTU rating?
If measuring heat, a BTU measures the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a pound of water to 1º Fahrenheit. In terms of air conditioning, the BTU determines the amount of heat the unit can remove from the room. As the BTU rating increases, so does the size, weight and cost of the unit.
How do you you determine storm water runoff coefficient?
A simple coefficient chart works best. However, in the event you do not have access to such a chart; here is the general coefficient information that can be used to calculate Storm water Runoff: 1) Smooth, Impervious Surfaces, i.e., Tile, Roofing materials, Concrete walkways has a runoff coefficient of approximately 90% 2) Gravel surfaces and paved asphalt surfaces have a runoff coefficient of about 80% 3) Mitigated, engineered and or loose soils have a coefficient rating of 60% 4) Natural soils like that found in an undisturbed forest has a general coefficient rating of approximately 30% 5) Built landscape areas like "Green Roofs" should hold to and strive to reach the target of a 30% runoff coefficient rating. Use this calculation to calculate runoff: (CA) X (R) X (E) X (0.6) = Area runoff in gallons. Understanding the equation: (CA) = Catchment area in Sq. Ft. i.e., 1 Acre = 43,560 Sq.Ft. (R) = Rainfall expressed in inches (E)= efficiency expressed in decimal (0.6) = Gallons per Square feet for every inch of rain
When careless human activities decrease the amount of plantlife the amount of runoff usually?
Increases
How is the Earths water cycle balanced?
Because the amount of precipitation is equal to the amount of evapotranspiration and runoff.
How is earth water cycle balanced?
Because the amount of precipitation is equal to the amount of evapotranspiration and runoff.
Does vegetation affect the amount of runoff?
Yes, plants absorb some of the water. It thick vegetation might slow runoff down too.
What determines which plants to grow?
The amount of precipitation determines which plants to grow where.
Deforestation increases the amount of water runoff which increases the rate of?
soil erosion
The amount of surface runoff increases as?
A number of factors. Soil saturation is one.
What determines the amount of voltage produced by a voltaic cell?
what determines the amount of voltage produced by a voltaic cell?
What determines the amount of water that can be held in the air?
The temperature determines the amount of water vapor that can be held in the air. The warmer the air, the greater the amount of water that the air can hold.
What determines the numbers of representives?
Population determines the amount of representatives for a state in the House of Representatives
How does clmate effect the amount of runoff?
Warm climates reduce runoff because evaporation increases. cold climates reduce runoff because precipitation is trapped in a form of snow or ice so there is little imediate runoffif traveling occurs slowly there is less runoff but if thawing occurs rapidly runoff can cause a significant problem like flooding nd mudslides
What does an o2 sensor do?
Depends on which one. One determines amount of air that goes into motor, other determines amount of air that goes out of motor.....
