A tributary or affluent is a stream or river that flows into a main stem (or parent) river or a lake. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean. Tributaries and the Main stem river serve to drain the surrounding drainage basin of its surface water and groundwater by leading the water out into an ocean or sea.
The Tigris River has several tributaries, with the most significant ones being the Great Zab, Little Zab, and Diyala rivers. While the exact number of tributaries can vary depending on how they are defined, there are approximately 20 notable tributaries that feed into the Tigris. These tributaries contribute to the river's flow and are essential for the surrounding ecosystems and human activities in the region.
Such streams are known as the tributaries of the main river.
A river is a large natural stream of water flowing in a channel to the sea, a lake, or another river. Tributaries are smaller streams or rivers that flow into a main river. Tributaries feed water into the main river, helping to increase its flow and volume.
The streams and smaller rivers that feed into a main river are called tributaries. Tributaries contribute water, sediment, and nutrients to the main river, enhancing its flow and ecological diversity. Together, they form a river system, which is crucial for the surrounding environment and ecosystems.
Major tributaries are Kama River and Oka River
Most do but some don't. Some rivers are actually just tributaries that feed an even larger river.
