Runoff
Runoff is the part of precipitation that reaches streams and rivers by flowing over or through the ground. It includes all the flow that passes a specific location on the river. Monitoring season runoff is calculated by dividing the total flow volume by the total number of contributing acres. This is equivalent to redistributing the flow out equally over the watershed, then measuring that depth in inches.
