In geomorphology, a drainage system is the pattern formed by the streams, rivers, and lakes in a particular watershed.
In a dendritic system there is one main river (like the trunk of a tree), which is joined and formed by many smaller tributary rivers.
Dendritic systems form in V-shaped valleys; as a result, the rock types must be impervious and non-porous.
Drainage Patterns (811 words)
Drainage patterns or nets are classified on the basis of their form and texture.
Drainage channels develop where surface runoff is enhanced and earth materials provide the least resistance to erosion.
Fewer drainage channels will develop where the surface is flat and the soil infiltration is high because the water will soak into the surface.
