 | | RUNOFF is a direct predecessor of the runoff document formatting program of Multics, which in turn was the ancestor of the roff and nroff document formatting programs of Unix, and their descendants. | | | RUNOFF was the first computer text formatting program to see significant use. | | | RUNOFF had support for pagination and headers, as well as text justification. |

| | Obviously, the less runoff you have to deal with, the less of a problem it creates. | | | Since up to the first 2 inches of storm runoff must be collected reservoir capacity should be designed on the basis of predict-able storm events. | | | Common sense is often all that is required to implement cultural inputs that will reduce runoff, as well as improve water quality. |

| | Rainfall runoff |
| | The depth to which a watershed (drainage area) would be covered if all of the runoff for a given period of time were uniformly distributed over it. | | | Runoff is extremely important in that not only does it keep rivers and lakes full of water, but it also changes the landscape by the action of erosion. | | | Drainage ditches to carry stormwater runoff to storage ponds are often built to hold runoff and collect excess sediment in order to keep it out of streams. |

| | Reducing Erosion and Runoff |
| | Be aware that changing soil level near well-established trees can seriously damage their root systems. | | | There are many ways to reduce erosion and runoff, as well as control the direction of drainage. | | | Erosion and runoff in the home landscape also create unsightly bare areas and deposit mud and dust on driveways and walkways that is then tracked into the house. |

| | Stormwater Agricultural Runoff |
| | The third function of an RFBS is control of dissolved phosphorus (P) in surface runoff or shallow groundwater. | | | Point sources, such as municipal sewer systems, usually enter the water body via pipes, and it is comparatively easy to collect that water and run it through a treatment system before releasing it into the environment. | | | Often practices aimed at controlling one aspect of agricultural runoff are also effective at reducing other components because of the interrelationships between runoff volume, erosion, transport, dissolution, and delivery. |
