Rain collection, also known as rainwater harvesting, is the process of collecting and storing rainwater that falls on rooftops or other surfaces for later use. Runoff refers to the excess rainwater that flows over the ground surface and can potentially cause flooding or carry pollutants into waterways if not managed properly.
When rain runoff travels over the surface of the land and enters a stream, it is called surface runoff. This water can carry pollutants and sediment into the stream, affecting water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
The water in lakes primarily comes from precipitation, such as rain and snowmelt, runoff from surrounding land, and underground sources such as springs and groundwater inflow.
Rain that falls to the surface and forms runoff is known as surface runoff. Surface runoff occurs when the soil is saturated and cannot absorb any more water, leading to water flowing over the ground and eventually collecting in bodies of water like rivers and lakes.
Rainfall can increase runoff by adding more water to the surface of the ground. If the ground is already saturated or impermeable, the excess water cannot infiltrate and will instead flow over the surface, causing runoff. Factors like soil permeability, slope of the land, and vegetation cover can also influence runoff.
The slope of the land affects the amount of runoff after rain by influencing how quickly water moves across the surface. Steeper slopes typically lead to faster runoff, which can increase the chances of erosion and flooding. Gentle slopes allow water to infiltrate the soil more easily, reducing runoff and promoting groundwater recharge.
acid rain comes from chemicals in the clouds, not runoff there is no "car runoff" runoff is from the slanted ground into water bodies
Both heavy rain and runoff can cause floods.
When rain is heavy and land is inclined , it rolls into stream. It is known as runoff.

Runoff from rain and runoff from melting snow (which is NOT the same as glacial runoff).
When rain rolls into a stream it is known as runoff.
When rain runoff travels over the surface of the land and enters a stream, it is called surface runoff. This water can carry pollutants and sediment into the stream, affecting water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
The runoff from the roof filled the rain barrel. The runoff from the strip mine killed the fish in the stream.
I have no clue
