This would be Urban Runoff. Urban runoff is the water that runs off from rain, it is often one of the top sources of flooding as well as water pollution in urban communities around the world. As the water runs off and floods it often carries with it any chemicals sitting on the surface of the ground, this can be pesticides, cleaners, filth or any other type of chemical.
