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.
