Smooth rock surfaces can increase runoff in comparison to rough or permeable surfaces.
Smooth rocks, such as polished or impermeable rocks, reduce the ability of water to infiltrate into the ground.
Instead, water is more likely to flow over the surface, leading to increased runoff.
This can contribute to issues like erosion and may impact local hydrology and water management.
Rough or permeable surfaces, on the other hand, allow water to be absorbed, reducing runoff.
