2. The sum of total discharges described in (1), above, during a specified period of time or

3. The depth to which a watershed (drainage area) would be covered if all of the runoff for a given period of time were uniformly distributed over it is called runoff.

Meteorological factors affecting runoff:

1. Type of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, etc.)
2. Rainfall intensity
3. Rainfall amount
4. Rainfall duration
5. Distribution of rainfall over the watersheds
6. Direction of storm movement
7. Antecedent precipitation and resulting soil moisture

Other meteorological and climatic conditions that affect evapotranspiration, such as temperature, wind, relative humidity, and season.

Physical characteristics affecting runoff:

1. Land use
2. Vegetation
3. Soil type
4. Drainage area
5. Basin shape
6. Elevation
7. Slope
8. Topography
9. Direction of orientation
10. Drainage network patterns
11. Ponds, lakes, reservoirs, sinks, etc. in the basin, which prevent or alter runoff from continuing downstream
