Detailed explanation-1: -Surface runoff (also known as overland flow) is the flow of water occurring on the ground surface when excess rainwater, stormwater, meltwater, or other sources, can no longer sufficiently rapidly infiltrate in the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earlier sections of this lesson presented the following runoff examples: (1) snowmelt in mountains, (2) torrential rains, (3) agricultural practices, and (4) construction work. Car washing is a fifth example of runoff. Waste water full of detergents flows down driveways and parking lots into storm water drains.
Detailed explanation-3: -Runoff may be classified according to speed of appearance after rainfall or melting snow as direct runoff or base runoff, and according to source as surface runoff, storm interflow, or groundwater runoff. 2.
Detailed explanation-4: -Runoff may consist of component contributions from such sources as surface runoff, subsurface runoff, or ground water runoff. Surface runoff travels over the ground surface and through surface channels to leave a catchment area called a drainage basin or watershed.
Detailed explanation-5: -Runoff elections are held when no candidate wins the required majority of votes. Anyone who is registered to vote in Georgia can vote in federal, state, and local runoff elections. Check your voter status. The top 2 vote-getters will face each other in a runoff election to be held 4 weeks after the general election.
