Describe the effects of glaciers on the drainage of the shield?

Glaciers can alter the drainage patterns of a shield by creating valleys and basins through erosion. As glaciers move, they carve out new paths for water to flow, influencing the direction and speed of drainage. Glacial meltwater can also interact with underlying soil and rocks, affecting groundwater movement and storage.
