What is containing the water? The dent or curve, that is if I am correct in understand what you are asking is called meniscus. There are two types of a meniscus. Concave or convex. A convex meniscus is when molecules of the liquid have a stronger attraction than of the surface that it is contained in however this does not occur with water. But that makes me ask myself a question... Because water expands as it freezes, uh nah. That is completely irrelevant. This is rather my 16 year ADD mind loosing it's train of thought getting off topic. Hahaha. Back on track, an example of this is mecury. A concave meniscus can be seen when molecules of the liquid attract to the structure of the container's surface. This can be seen as water in a glass. Wow this is pretty cool. I want use this site more often. I think that it will help me with focusing on good questions especially just a 16 year.
The upper surface of water is called the water's surface or water level. It is the boundary where the water meets the air above it.
Water on top of soil is called surface water or runoff.
Surface water.
Water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth is called runoff.
The total amount of water vapor leaving the Earth's surface is called evaporation. Evaporation is the process by which water at the surface turns into water vapor in the air.

Water on top of soil is called surface water or runoff.
The curved surface of water in a burette is called the meniscus. It is caused by the surface tension of the water interacting with the walls of the burette.
Waves that travel on the surface of the water are called surface waves. These waves are created by wind blowing over the water, causing the surface to rise and fall in a rolling motion.

Surface tension is the tightness across the surface of water caused by the attraction between water molecules.

Its called as surface water.
