• All rivers receive a water supply and the area of land this comes from is known as a drainage basin.
• The boundaries of the basin are known as the watershed and will usually be marked by areas of high land.
The drainage basin

River drainage basins
• Rivers begin in upland areas and flow downhill, becoming deeper and wider until they reach the sea.
• The drainage basin (aka ‘catchment’) is an area of land that is drained by a river
• As the river flows downstream its characteristics change through the three main sections of
- The Upper Course- The Middle Course- The Lower Course

Drainage basin diagram:
• River basins are an open systemwith inputs and outputs of water
Any rain falling
here will flow
within this basin
