Definition noun (ecology) Water that is above the substrate or soil surface such as streams, bays, lakes, rivers, seas, oceans, etc. Supplement The surface water is the water on the surface of the earth. This i
Surface runoff water quality in a managed three zone riparian buffer. Journal Of Environmental Quality 34, 1851-1859.Lowrance R, Sheridan JM (2005) Surface runoff water quality in a managed three zone riparian buffer. J Environ Qual 34:1851-1859...
Stormwater runoff means water flow on the surface of the ground or in storm sewers, resulting from precipitation. Unpolluted water means water of quality equal to or better than the effluent criteria in effect or water that would not cause violation of receiving water quality standards and would...
Surface waterbegins for the most part as precipitation and is a blend of surface runoff and ground water. It incorporates large rivers, lakes, and the little upland streams that may start from springs and gather runoff from the watersheds. The amount of runoff depends on countless variables, t...
3.2 Surface water Surface water pollution is generally caused by pathogens, nutrients, plastics, chemicals such as heavy metals, pesticides, antibiotics, industrial waste discharges, and individuals dumping into waterways. Urban storm water runoff is a major contributor of surface water pollution, and ...
Surface water means all water which is open to the atmosphere and subject to surface runoff. Community protection zone means the area within eight Surface waters means water on the surface of the ground where water does not usually accumulate in ordinary watercourses, lakes, or ponds. This includ...
A surface water runoff filtration device comprises an intake which is adapted to receive storm water and other surface water runoff. The surface water runoff flows from the surface
Numerical simulations of runoff generation with surface water-groundwater interactions in the Alzette river alluvial plain (Luxembourg). Phys. Chem. Earth 30, 277-284.Fenicia, F., Zhang, G. P., Rientjes, T., Hoffmann, L., Pfister, L., and Savenije, H. H. G.: Nu- merical ...
Such modeling effort was hampered by the inability to a priori predict when surface runoff generation would result from infiltration excess, rather than saturation excess (more readily simulated when available soil water storage is filled). This inability stems from lack of definition of surface ...
A consequence of the runoff-runon dynamic on sealed soils is that more vegetation cover is not necessarily “better” (Berghuis et al., 2020). Removing sealed areas can generate collapse of vegetation in drylands, as the plants cannot survive without the extra water. Vegetation cover that incr...
