Drains water from Marilao, Meycauayan and as far as the northwestern side of the La Mesa Dam area. Two other rivers, the Meycauayan River and Polo River that drains Malabon and Valenzuela dump their water here. Another great rivers, the Santa Maria River and Balagtas River meet up with the Marilao River in the Obando area before reaching Manila ...
18 Major River Basins in the Philippines. Rivers in the Philippines are grouped into 18 major river basins. Of these, the Cagayan, the country's longest river, [1] has the largest drainage basin, followed by the Mindanao, the Agusan, and the Pampanga. [2]

The Rosgen Stream Classification is a system for natural rivers in which morphological arrangements of stream characteristics are organized into relatively homogeneous stream types. [1] This is a widely used method for classifying streams and rivers based on common patterns of channel morphology. [ 2 ]
In practice, the River Continuum Concept is used today mainly for environmental assessment of rivers. River studies that assess riverine biological communities and have determined the species composition of an area can then be compared with the ideal species composition from the River Continuum Concept. From there, any variations in species ...
In the early times, Punturin was a pure, virgin forest with hills surrounding its vast landscape. Creeks enclosed some of the areas which are directly connected to the Meycauayan River. The name of the place originated from the word “Maraming Puntod” which means an abundance of hills because of its enveloping terrain.
The terms river morphology and its synonym stream morphology are used to describe the shapes of river channels and how they change in shape and direction over time. The morphology of a river channel is a function of a number of processes and environmental conditions, including the composition and erodibility of the bed and banks (e.g., sand, clay, bedrock); erosion comes from the power and ...
Diagram showing the Strahler stream order In mathematics , the Strahler number or Horton–Strahler number of a mathematical tree is a numerical measure of its branching complexity. These numbers were first developed in hydrology , as a way of measuring the complexity of rivers and streams, by Robert E. Horton ( 1945 ) and Arthur Newell ...
