Slopes, or areas of compact earth are often difficult to water without having the water running off. On these areas, don't ever apply the water faster than it is being absorbed.
One method to overcome runoff potential is to water slowly just until the point where water begins to runoff the slope, then stop. Allow some time for the water to be absorbed and infiltrate, then repeat the same procedure until the soil is wet to a depth of about 6 inches.
