River basin dynamics

River basin dynamics refer to the natural processes that shape and maintain the land area drained by a river and its tributaries. This involves the movement of water, sediment transport, vegetation influences, and interactions between surface runoff and groundwater. Factors such as rainfall, geology, land use, and human activity affect how water flows, erodes land, deposits sediments, and supports ecosystems within the basin. Understanding these dynamics helps manage water resources, prevent flooding, and preserve environmental health by recognizing how changes in one part of the basin impact the overall system.
