WATER RUN-OFF: Surface runoff is the flow of water that occurs when excess stormwater, meltwater, or other sources flows over the Earth's surface. There are different types depending on its provenance.
The run-off has increased because of the urbanization, it creates an increasement on the deforestation and the use of waterproof surfaces, that impede the filtration and evaporation of the water into the ground cutting off the water circle.
