When rain falls, some water soaks into the soil, where it can move slowly through the ground to feed rivers and lakes. The rest flows over the land’s surface. This is called runoff. Runoff can travel quickly into streams, picking up soil, chemicals, and litter along the way. How does water get into our rivers, lakes and seas? Intro Freshwater Overview (12-18) 12/24
