The number of rivers in a drainage basin can vary widely depending on its size and geographical features. A drainage basin may contain one major river along with several smaller tributaries, or it could encompass multiple rivers that converge into a larger body of water. Ultimately, there is no fixed number, as each drainage basin is unique in its configuration and hydrology.
A river basin is an area of land where all the water not absorbed into the ground or evaporated into the air drains into one particular river. A tributary does not increase the size of a river basin because all a river's tributaries are already included in a river basin.

It is 11,420 sq km or 4.409 sq miles
The Amazon basin, the largest and the longest drainage basin in the world, covers about 40 percent of South America, an area of approximately 6,915,000 square kilometres. Correction, the area is approximatley 7'050'000 square kilometres and about 2'720'000 square miles. This correction was by noobsinmyface!
The Amazon River of South America is the second longest river in the world with an average discharge greater than the next six largest rivers combined. The Amazon, which has the largest drainage basin in the world, about 7,050,000 square kilometres (2,720,000 sq mi), accounts for approximately one-fifth of the world's total river flow. The river drains into the Atlantic Ocean.
The River Tees drains an area of approximately 2,500 square kilometers (around 965 square miles). This catchment area encompasses parts of the North Pennines and the northern regions of England, ultimately flowing into the North Sea. The river's drainage basin includes various landscapes, from upland moors to urban areas.
The yard drainage should be a catch basin where the inlet pipe is placed well above the bottom of the basin to allow fro the accumulation of mud and other debris to collect so it does not get into the system. The size of the inlet pipe should be predicated on the size of the plot being drainage L X W and the square footage then used to find the proper size pipe and then the storm line shall be protected with a trap prior to entering a combination system to prevent dangerous sewer gases from entering this storm line
The Amazon River accounts for about a fifth of the drainage of all the rivers in the world! That means that of all the water (volume) drained by all the rivers of the world, the Amazon alone handles about 20% or 1/5th of it. That's a lotof water! Additionally the Amazon basin, the name given to the area of land that the Amazon drains, is the largest river basin in the world. The Amazon is clearly the largest river in the world. Note that by some geographic fluke, the Nile River is a tiny bit longer than the Amazon. A link can be found below.
The Amazon Basin is the part of South America drained by the Amazon River and its tributaries. The basin is located mainly (40%) in Brazil, but also stretches into Peru and several other countries.
