Drainage system (geomorphology) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Drainage system (geomorphology)
In geomorphology, drainage systems are the patterns formed by the streams, rivers, and lakes in a particular drainage basin. They are governed by the topography of the land, whether a particular region is dominated by hard or soft rocks, and the gradient of the land. Geomorphologists and hydrologists often view streams as being part of drainage basins. A drainage basin is the topographic region from which a stream receives runoff, throughflow, and groundwater flow. Drainage basins are divided from each other by topographic barriers called a watershed. A watershed represents all of the stream tributaries that flow to some location along the stream channel. The number, size, and shape of the drainage basins found in an area varies and the larger the topographic map, the more information on the drainage basin is available.〔(Pidwirny, M., (2006). "The Drainage Basin Concept". ''Fundamentals of Physical Geography,'' 2nd Edition. )〕 ==Drainage patterns== According to the configuration of the channels, drainage systems can fall into one of several categories known as drainage patterns. Drainage patterns depend on the topography and geology of the land.〔
