Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water that does not infiltrate into the ground or evaporate must be runoff, which is the water that flows over the land surface and eventually enters streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Groundwater is water that infiltrates into the ground and is stored in underground aquifers. Soil moisture is the water held in soil particles by capillary attraction and is part of the water cycle. The hydrologic cycle is the continuous process of evaporation, precipitation, and transpiration.
