About

Runoff is a central concept in hydrology and environmental science, referring to the flow of water across the land surface and into receiving water bodies such as streams, rivers, and lakes. This research concept investigates the processes by which excess precipitation, snowmelt, or irrigation water moves over impermeable or saturated ground, analyzing its pathways, quantity, velocity, and chemical composition, which is significant for understanding watershed dynamics, managing water resources, assessing flood risk, and evaluating non-point source pollution.
