What Does OLF Stand For?
OLF stands for Overland Flow
OLF, or Overland Flow, refers to the movement of water across the land surface, typically resulting from precipitation events that exceed the infiltration capacity of the soil. This hydrological process is essential in understanding surface runoff, erosion, and water quality impacts in both natural and urban environments. OLF plays a critical role in various fields, including hydrology, environmental science, and land management, as it influences water distribution, agricultural practices, and flood risk assessment.
