Parallel drainage pattern. A parallel drainage system occurs on elongate landforms like outcropping resistant rock bands), typically following natural faults or erosion (such as prevailing wind scars). The watercourses run swift and straight, with very few tributaries, and all flow in the same direction.
It flows in a southwesterly direction, with a parallel drainage pattern, reaching the Lombok Strait at the district of Labuapi, West Lombok Regency. The length of the river's main course is around 55 km. [ 1 ]
[13] [14] The uplift of the Scandinavian Mountains resulted in the progressive tilt of northern Sweden, contributing to create the parallel drainage pattern of that region. [15] As the South Swedish Dome uplifted, this resulted in the formation of a piedmonttreppen and the obstruction of the Eridanos River, diverting it to the south. [10]
Yazoo stream [1]. A Yazoo stream (also called a Yazoo tributary [2]) is a geologic and hydrologic term for any tributary stream that runs parallel to, and within the floodplain of a larger river for considerable distance, before eventually joining it.
Four minor kinds of drainage patterns also can be created: radial patterns, annular patterns, centripetal patterns and parallel patterns. Radial patterns are characterized by flow of water outward from a central point, such as down a newly formed cinder volcano cone or an intrusive dome. Annular patterns form on domes of alternating weak and ...
When drainage patterns follow these paths, it creates angular, dendritic patterns within topography. Lack of soil cover in these dry regions gives joints maximum control over drainage systems resulting in angular patterns, striking topography, and steep slopes.

A wide variety of river and stream channel types exist in limnology, the study of inland waters.All these can be divided into two groups by using the water-flow gradient as either low gradient channels for streams or rivers with less than two percent (2%) flow gradient, or high gradient channels for those with greater than a 2% gradient.
