Smaller streams that flow into rivers are called tributaries. These tributaries contribute to the overall flow and volume of the main river.
When two streams join together, it is called confluence. This natural phenomenon occurs where two rivers or streams meet and merge into a larger body of water.
It is usually the other way round. Moving in the direction of water flow, streams merge together to form larger rivers, the streams are called the river's tributaries. The point of joining is called a "confluence".
This would be a river basin.
Small streams and rivers that flow into larger ones are called tributaries. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean.
