Where the ground is impermeable,<br />

water begins to trickle and flow across<br />

the surface, collects in natural<br />

depressions, and is stored in wetlands.<br />

These natural features attenuate the rate<br />

and volume of flow of rainwater running<br />

off the landscape. These flows are called<br />

natural or greenfield runoff.<br />

Overview<br />

Surface flow rates are small at first, but increase<br />

with higher intensity rainfall events. The<br />

volume of runoff will generally be greater with<br />

increased rainfall intensity and duration.<br />
