Detailed explanation-1: -The water that does not infiltrate will evaporate. When rain falls on a sloping area, and it does not infiltrate immediately, it will run off following the slope to form small streams in the valleys.
Detailed explanation-2: -Infiltration and percolation Percolation is the movement of water through the soil itself. Finally, as the water percolates into the deeper layers of the soil, it reaches ground water, which is water below the surface. The upper surface of this underground water is called the “water table".
Detailed explanation-3: -Water that doesn’t infiltrate the soil flows on the surface as runoff. Precipitation that reaches the surface of the Earth but does not infiltrate the soil is called runoff. Runoff can also come from melted snow and ice.
