   4 days ago · Precipitation that falls on land can flow over the surface as run-off into rivers and streams, and can also percolate (trickle down) through the soil into underground rocks to become groundwater. Water is held in reservoirs (indicated in Figure 4.1) and moves between them in transfer processes.
