Answer:

A tributary or affluent is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream or main stem river or a lake. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean.

A river basin is the part of land through which a main river and all its tributaries flows. It is the basic hydrological unit for planning and development of water resources of a country.
