Drainage basin (catchment area) is the area which supplies a river system, lake or reservoir with water. The whole area consists of smaller sub-catchments supplying tributaries of the main ri-ver and direct catchments, which drain straight into a lake or main river (Box 3.1).ts purpose is to co-nvey excess water from a drainage basin, which will include the products of weathering and addi-tional loads of solutes produced by man. This pro-perty makes a drainage basin an integrator and its operation is reflected in the quantity and quality of the river run-off.
