drainage system
A drainage system refers to a network of structures, channels, and underground pipes that collect, transfer, and dispose of water from land surfaces. This can include rainwater, surface water, and wastewater. These systems help prevent flooding, facilitate waste removal, maintain a safe water table level, support plant life, and keep living spaces dry and sanitary. Drainage systems can be natural (rivers, lakes, or swamps) or man-made (gutters, storm sewers, or sewage systems).

Drainage system
In geomorphology, a drainage system is the pattern formed by the streams, rivers, and lakes in a particular drainage basin. They are governed by the topography of the land, whether a particular region is dominated by hard or soft rocks, and the gradient of the land. Geomorphologists and hydrologists often view streams as being part of drainage basins. A drainage basin is the topographic region from which a stream receives runoff, throughflow, and groundwater flow. Drainage basins are divided from each other by topographic barriers called a watershed. A watershed represents all of the stream tributaries that flow to some location along the stream channel. The number, size, and shape of the drainage basins found in an area varies and the larger the topographic map, the more information on the drainage basin is available.
