Detailed Solution

The Drainage systems of India are mainly controlled by the broad relief features of the subcontinent. Small streams of water that flow from different directions collectively come together to form the main river, which ultimately drains into a larger water body such as a lake or a sea, or an ocean. The area that is drained by a single river system is known as a drainage basin. An elevated area that divides two drainage basins such as an elevated mountain or upland is known as a water divide and the term drainage defines the river system of an area.
