Detailed explanation-1: -In addition to causing water erosion and pollution, surface runoff in urban areas is a primary cause of urban flooding, which can result in property damage, damp and mold in basements, and street flooding.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the slope of the land increases, runoff increases. As the permeability of the ground increases, runoff decreases. As the degree of saturation increases, runoff increases. As long as precipitation rates exceed infiltration rates, runoff will occur.
Detailed explanation-3: -Environmental Risks Energy industry operations directly affect the environment, including greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, oil spills, and solid and hazardous waste.
Detailed explanation-4: -Surface water becomes ground water when it percolates, or filters through, the ground and joins with existing ground water in aquifers.
