What is the basin of the river?
A River basin is the portion of land drained by a river and its tributaries. It encompasses all of the land surface dissected and drained by many streams and creeks that flow downhill into one another, and eventually into one river. The final destination is an estuary or an ocean. As a bathtub catches all the water that falls within its sides, a river basin sends all the water falling on the surrounding land into a central river and out to the sea.

Is a drainage basin a open system?
Drainage Basins are open systems. This is because they are open to input from outside the system. For example: Rain which evaporated from outside the system, could travel through the atmosphere, before dropping as precipitation (rain/snow) into the drainage basin. This means extra water has entered the system. Drainage basins also lose water. This is because all drainage basins fuel a river, which then leads to the sea. This means water escapes the system. An example of a closed system is the hydrological cycle.
In which river basin do you live?
