    Runoff is defined as precipitation that flows over or through the ground to streams, rivers, and oceans. It occurs through direct runoff, surface runoff, and subsurface runoff. Factors that affect runoff include the characteristics of precipitation and the drainage basin. Runoff can be estimated using methods like runoff coefficients, infiltration capacity curves, rainfall-runoff relationships, hydrographs, the curve number method, and rational formulas.

    RUNOFF

    Runoff

    It is defined as the portion of precipitation that make its way towards stream, rivers or oceans as
    surface and sub-surface flow.

    Discharge, streamflow, runoff are having same meaning

    Runoff

    1. Direct Runoff
    2. Surface Runoff
    3. Sub-surface runoff
    4. Base flow

    Runoff
    We take two cases
    1. When water table is meeting the surface water storage
    2. When water table is not meeting the surface water storage
