surface run-off definition
surface run-off means water from precipitation running over the landscape; “night soil” has the meaning assigned to it by regulation 2 of the Health Services
surface run-off means precipitation on the surface of the ground, but if such precipitation drains to a watercourse, drainage system or the sewerage system, and water overflows from there to be on the surface of the ground, this water is not within the definition of surface run-off. Subsection (6) brings lakes, ponds, or other areas of water that flow into a watercourse within the meaning of a watercourse for the purpose of the definition of surface run-off. Drainage system has the same meaning as in paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the Act.
surface run-off means rainwater (including snow and other precipitation) which is on the surface of the ground (whether or not it is moving) and, has not entered a watercourse, drainage system or public sewer.
