Physical Characteristics Effecting Runoff:

  • Land Use
  • Vegetation
  • Soil Type
  • Drainage area
  • Elevation
  • Slope of Land
  • Other Bodies of water

Meteorological Factors Effecting Runoff:

  • Type of precipitation
  • Rainfall intensity
  • Rainfall amount
  • Rainfall duration
  • Distribution of rainfall
  • Temperature

Surface Runoff

There are many factors affecting runoff such as:

Type of precipitation

Rainfall amount

Distribution of rainfall

Precipitation falls on the land, flows overland, and runs into rivers, which then empty into oceans

People building roads too close to the river will make the flow of runoff much quicker to where there is no seepage. No seepage means that flooding will happen faster. People will then not be able to drive on the roads that people built to drive on.

Fact: Only about one third of the precipitation that falls over land runs off into streams and rivers and is returned to the oceans
