• nonpoint source pollution, point source pollution

• impermeable, permeable

• permeable, impermeable

The biggest difference in infiltration and runoff is

• infiltration allows water to gradually sink into groundwater, and runoff means it quickly sink into the ground.

• infiltration allows water to gradually sink into groundwater, and runoff means it flows back into the ocean or other bodies of water.

• infiltration allows water to flow back into a gas without going through the liquid stage and runoff must pass a liquid stage.
