Percipitation- is the quantity of water falling to earth at a specific place within a specified period of time.
Infiltration- is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil.
Surface runoff- is the water flow that occurs when soil is infiltrated to full capacity and excess water from rain, snowmelt, or other sources flows over the land.
