Question

What is drainage Basin ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Definition: When rain falls on an area of land, the water travels downhill and typically collects into a lake or travels on through a river. ... In a catchment area water can be collected through rain or drained by rivers or streams. A catchment area can also be known as Drainage Basin.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Drainage basin, also called catchment area, or (in North America) watershed, area from which all precipitation flows to a single stream or set of streams. For example, the total area drained by the Mississippi River constitutes its drainage basin, whereas that part of the Mississippi River drained by the Ohio River is the Ohio’s drainage basin. The boundary between drainage basins is a drainage divide: all the precipitation on opposite sides of a drainage divide will flow into different drainage basins.
