Class 4
 Drainage Basin!

Area of land drained by a river system and its

tributaries

Area from which all precipitation flows to a single

stream or set of streams.

Also known as catchment area

Drainage basins have one main stream and many

tributaries.

Each tributary of main stream forms sub-drainage

basin.

Drainage basins are divided from each other by

topographic barriers called watersheds or water divides

A drainage basin is the topographic region from which

a stream receives runoff, throughflow and groundwater
flow.

Class 4
DRAINAGE BASINS CHARACTERISTICS​

 Inputs: In the form of precipitation

 Outputs: Water is lost through evapo-

transportation and runoff

 Within the system, some of the water:

 Is stored in water storage such as lakes or soil

 Passes through a series of transfers or flows.
E.g. Infiltration, percolation and throughflow
