As the title says really, I'm struggling a little to find out what it is.

Thanks.

Could it be Interception that you are really after?

In reply to Timmd:

Interception is where something such as vegetation intercepts precipitation on its journey from sky to ground.

It slows the movement of water into a river drainage basin and can help to reduce flooding. Conversely if vegetation is removed, water falls directly to the ground and can enter a river more rapidly increasing its discharge and making flooding more likely.
