River Basins Areas
Rivers encompass freshwater surface streams moving towards the sea, lake, or another river. River basins can cover vast areas of land and consists of the land area that is drained by a river and its tributaries. River basins often provide fertile lands, which make it favorable areas for farmers. The basins are often shared between different countries through which the related river flows. Cooperative management of shared river systems is therefore an important aspect for climate change adaptation measures in river basins.
