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.
