Drainage Basin

An area of land where water drains into a stream

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep your kitchen floor dry while cooking, but every time you spill a little water, it flows towards the same corner of the room. This scenario is similar to how a drainage basin works, where all the rain that falls in the area eventually flows into a specific stream. Just like how the kitchen floor guides the spilled water to one corner, the land in a drainage basin channels rainwater through various smaller streams and rivers until it all converges into a main stream, highlighting how both the kitchen floor and the land shape the flow of water towards a central point.
