Surface Runoff in Surface Water Hydrology Formulas

Surface Runoff refers to water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface, and is a major component of the water cycle. And is denoted by S_r. Surface Runoff is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Surface Runoff is always positive.
