Runoff and infiltration are important processes in the water cycle. When precipitation falls on the Earth's surface, it can either infiltrate into the soil or become runoff. Infiltration refers to the process of water seeping into the soil and recharging groundwater. On the other hand, runoff occurs when the soil is saturated or impermeable, causing excess water to flow over the land surface and collect in rivers, lakes, or oceans. These processes play a crucial role in regulating the flow of water through the environment and are essential for maintaining water balance and supporting ecosystems.
