Difference between Surface runoff and Water conservation

Surface runoff vs. Water conservation

Surface runoff (also known as overland flow or terrestrial runoff) is the unconfined flow of water over the ground surface, in contrast to channel runoff (or stream flow). Water conservation aims to sustainably manage the natural resource of fresh water, protect the hydrosphere, and meet current and future human demand.

Similarities between Surface runoff and Water conservation

Surface runoff and Water conservation have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aquifer, Groundwater, Irrigation, Precipitation, United States Environmental Protection Agency, Water cycle, Water quality.

Aquifer

An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing material, consisting of permeable or fractured rock, or of unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt).

Groundwater

Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in rock and soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.

Irrigation

Irrigation (also referred to as watering of plants) is the practice of applying controlled amounts of water to land to help grow crops, landscape plants, and lawns.

Precipitation

In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls from clouds due to gravitational pull.

United States Environmental Protection Agency

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is an independent agency of the United States government tasked with environmental protection matters.

Water cycle

The water cycle (or hydrologic cycle or hydrological cycle), is a biogeochemical cycle that involves the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.
