If surface water does not flow into the oceans, then it will be collected into lakes or wetlands for instance in marshes and swamps. Also, Drainage basins collect surface water and direct it on it gravitationally. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Surface water that doesn't reach the ocean collects in lakes, wetlands, ponds, reservoirs, and drainage basins. These bodies of water play vital roles in ecosystems and human activities. They help store and regulate water resources in various environments.
