Question

what happens when rain falls on a piece of property that has pavement,roofs, and lawns. Where does the water go? Over a long rainy season, how do streams and groundwater respond? Please explain , I need help.Thank you ever so much in advance for your time and help!

Answer 1

The water is absorbed on pavement. Water rums off the roof on to the ground/ lawn and it works it's way don't to the soil. I'm the lawn some water is absorbed of there's to much it will drown the grass and kill it. Steams fill up and flow south towards the Mississippi River or Ohio river depends where you live. Ground water will run faster but not by a whole lot.

Answer 2

the water would stream down the roof, and since the lawn is porous, water is absorbed into the lawn and pavement, to the ground. Streams overflow and groundwater would rise up for a short period of time and become a spring or it would be at its maximum height
