  2. Drainage system (geomorphology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_system...

    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.

  3. Antecedent drainage stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antecedent_drainage_stream

    The stream thus keeps its dendritic pattern even though it flows over a landscape that will normally produce a trellis drainage pattern. [1] A superimposed stream is a stream that forms over horizontal beds that overlie folded and faulted rock with varying resistance. Having cut down through the horizontal beds, the stream retains its course ...

  4. Trench drain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trench_drain

    Concrete will need to be poured to surround the trench drain so that the load can be transferred from the channel and grate to the surrounding areas. Pre-cast trench drains generally come in 4-inch (100 mm) widths but can range anywhere from a 1.75-inch (44 mm) slot to 2-inch (51 mm) wide channels with grates, and up to any size imaginable ...

  5. Headward erosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headward_erosion

    Headward erosion creates three major kinds of drainage patterns: dendritic patterns, trellis patterns, and rectangular and angular patterns. Dendritic patterns form in homogenous landforms where the underlying bedrock has no structural control over where the water flows. They have a very characteristic pattern of branching at acute angles with ...

  6. Flood control channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_control_channel

    Straight, clear, smooth concrete-walled channels speed up flow, and are therefore likely to make flooding downstream worse. Modern flood control seeks to "slow the flow", and deliberately flood some low-lying areas, ideally vegetated, to act as sponges, letting them drain again as the floodwaters go down.

  7. French drain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_drain

    A diagram of a traditional French drain. A French drain [1] (also known by other names including trench drain, blind drain, [1] rubble drain, [1] and rock drain [1]) is a trench filled with gravel or rock, or both, with or without a perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from an area.
