Storm events generate precipitation in many forms – rain, sleet, snow, or hail. As rain reaches the ground surface, or other forms of precipitation melts, the water can either infiltrate into the ground or become stormwater runoff. The amount of stormwater runoff generated from a storm or from melting snow and ice depends on many factors, including the quantity of rainfall, the duration of the storm or how quickly the rainfall reaches the ground, and the condition of the ground.
