In geomorphology, drainage systems, also known as river systems, are the patterns formed by the streams, rivers, and lakes in a particular drainage basin. They are governed by the topography of 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.

Two classifications of drainage patterns are empirical and genetic. The empirical classification emphasizes the structural control where the streams are accordant to the landscape on which they flow. The genetic classification of drainage pattern talks about the antecedent and superimposed patterns.
This volume provides a versatile introduction to the study of drainage basin evolution, morphology, drainage basin hydrology and sedimentology, human interference, natural and anthropogenic hazards and various management techniques.
A more detailed classification of drainage patterns is herewith presented, in the belief that clearer conceptions regarding the various types will increase their usefulness in interpreting structural controls of drainage evolution.
The main aim of this book is to highlight the magnitude of natural dynamicity and human intervention within the drainage basin and to examine the micro to macro level landforms evaluation through RS, GIS modelling and machine learning algorithms.
Drainage patterns or arrangements refer to spatial relationships among streams or rivers, which may be influenced in their erosion by inequalities of slope, rock resistance, structure and geologic history of a region. The degree of erosion is referred to as dissection or relief .
