Question by West: What is the technical term for excess runoff water that collects in unwanted locations?

There an apartment complex next door to me that when their sprinklers turn on, the water collects in the nearby alley. This water remains there for about a week and gets dirty. What is the technical name of the collection of this water?

Can it be called swamped water?

Also, does can this water present any health issues to nearby residents?
