Drainage areas, or watersheds, are formed by the natural topography of the land, where gravity directs surface water to flow into a common outlet, such as a river, lake, or ocean. Factors such as soil type, vegetation, and land use can influence how water is absorbed or flows across the surface. Additionally, geological features like mountains and valleys shape the boundaries of these areas. Human activities, such as urban development and deforestation, can also alter drainage patterns.
