Hydrological terminology

A tributary is usually a river that flows directly or indirectly into the main stream. stay hydrology It refers to a river that flows into another river (or other water bodies) without directly entering the sea. The river into which the branch flows is called trunk stream or main stream The intersection of two or more rivers is called Confluence Or confluence. The situation opposite to the tributary is called shunt The flow direction of water along the river can be called the left side tributary and the right side tributary. The tributary is opposite to the mainstream. [1]

Level division

A river that flows directly or indirectly into the main stream. In larger river systems, tributaries are often divided into primary, secondary and tertiary. Direct inflow trunk stream It is called a primary tributary, and it is called a secondary tributary if it flows directly into the primary tributary, and so on. The tributary level and the river level tributary level are in the same water system. The river directly flowing into the main stream is called the primary tributary, and the river directly flowing into the primary tributary is called the primary tributary Secondary tributary , and so on.
The order level of the river channel is that the river channel at the top of the river network without further branches in the upstream is called the primary river channel, and the river channel after the convergence of two primary rivers is called the Secondary channel , and so on. Therefore, the higher the level of a tributary, the lower the level of its channel. The ratio of each river channel to the number of higher rivers is called the order bifurcation ratio or river system bifurcation ratio. Generally speaking, the situation with a large proportion is relatively long and narrow and the flow is stable.
