Water that flows downhill along Earth's surface is known as surface runoff. It occurs when precipitation exceeds the absorption capacity of the soil, leading to flow over the land into streams and rivers. Various factors such as rainfall intensity, soil saturation, land use, and topography influence the amount of runoff.
