Excerpt from Water-Works: For Small Cities and Towns By surface water is meant the water discharged from the sur face of a catchment area, as opposed to that collected from wells and galleries. Such surface supplies depend upon the rainfall for their existence, and upon the natural features of the watershed for their character.
