Drainage networks

Surface water currents and stream characteristics . A current is nothing more than a small comlonent of a larger system. Each system consists of a drainage basin, the area of ​​land that brings water to the stream. The drainage basin of a stream is separated from another by an imaginary line called the dividing line. The size of the divide ranges from a mound that separates two small streams to continenal dividers, which divide continents into huge drainage basins. The Mississippi River has the largest drainage basin in all of North America. Spreading between the Rocky Mountains in the west and the Appalachians in the east, the Mississippi River and its tributaries collect water from more than 3.2 million square kilometers of the continent.
