Talk:Runoff (water)

intro
the way the article reads now is to define runoff by the phrase "runs off". it would seem best not to use a circular definintion. further the intro doesnt seem the best place to introduce concepts like "run on" ...we are trying to get the reader into the article not baffle him/her...what are your thoughts....Anlace 02:42, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

rename
seems like a better name for this article would be runoff water. this would allow circumvention of the disambig page (which is always annoying for a reader) and would also allow natural hyperlinking in other related articles.Anlace 02:48, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


 * To me, "runoff" is a noun not an adjective. Runoff is water. I'm going to stick to my guns on this one. Daniel Collins 02:55, 17 March 2006 (UTC).


 * it seems like surface runoff works best all around and should be the surviving name if the below merger goes through Anlace 05:07, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

merge overland flow into this article
this seems like a no brainer...i favour the merge Anlace 05:05, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
