    1. Precipitation falls as rain or snow and can infiltrate into the soil, evaporate, or run off as surface water. Runoff is water that does not infiltrate and flows over land into streams, rivers, or lakes. 2. Factors that influence the size of floods include antecedent soil moisture levels, deforestation which reduces infiltration, and urbanization which increases impervious surfaces and runoff. 3. There are three types of runoff: surface runoff which flows directly into streams, subsurface runoff which moves laterally in soil before entering streams, and base flow which comes from groundwater entering streams.

    1. Antecedent soil moisture
    INFILTRATION - is the process by which The largest influence on the size of a flood,
    precipitation or water soaks into subsurface soils apart from the amount and intensity of

    occurring.

    2. Deforestation
    There is also considerable evidence that a
    large vegetation cover, such as forest,
    decreases the severity of flooding.

    3. Urbanization
    Urban areas have a greater extent of
    impervious surfaces than in most natural
    Types of runoff landforms. Consequently the amount of
    infiltration excess overland flow is high.
    1. Surface (overland) runoff

    so variable. What can be said though is that

    3. Base flow
    It is delays flow, defined as that part of rainfall
    which after falling on the ground surface
    infillrated into the soil and meets so the water
