    A run-on is a grammatical error in a written language where either two independent clauses are joined without an appropriate conjunction or punctuation, or a single sentence extends unnecessarily with additional, often irrelevant, information without proper punctuation. It creates lengthy sentences which sometimes become hard to understand. It is often considered as a stylistic error in formal writing.

  1. Run-on

    In hydrology, run-on refers both to the process whereby surface runoff infiltrates the ground as it flows, and to the portion of runoff that infiltrates. Run-on is common in arid and semi-arid areas with patchy vegetation cover and short but intense thunderstorms. In these environments, surface runoff is usually generated by a failure of rainfall to infiltrate into the ground quickly enough. This is more likely to occur on bare soil, with low infiltration capacity. As runoff flows downslope, it may flow onto ground with higher infiltration capacity and become run-on. Run-on is an important process in the hydrological and ecohydrological behaviour of semi-arid ecosystems. Tiger bush is an example of a vegetation community that develops a patterned structure in response to, in part, the generation of runoff and run-on.
