storm water
Precipitation surface drainage
Storm water is rainwater or melted snow that flows over land surfaces rather than soaking into the ground.
In urban areas, storm water runs off roofs, streets, and parking lots, often picking up pollutants before entering drainage systems: The city's storm water management plan addresses flooding and water quality.
Also written as one word: stormwater.
