I have also given the translated word for "top-dressing" which is "baja permukaan" based on the same reference material. I posted it twice but it didn't register in the "top-dressing" posting though. Probably a computer glitch. Hope you got it :)

air yang tidak terserap ke bumi & menyalir keluar


Explanation:
Adakalanya komposisi tanih membuatkan air tidak terserap. Air itu, sama ada di permukaan (surface water runoff) atau dalam tanah (ground water runoff) akan membentuk alurnya sendiri mengikut gradient bumi dan mengalir ke dalam tasik, sungai atau laut dll.
