Explanation

The drainage system of an area depends on:

The composition and nature of rocks – The type of rock (whether permeable or impermeable) affects how water drains through the ground.
Topography – The slope and elevation of the land determine how water flows and accumulates in different areas.
Amount of running water – The volume of water in the system (such as rainfall or rivers) also affects the drainage efficiency.

All of these factors work together to shape the drainage system.

1. Composition and Nature of Rocks

1. Permeable vs. Impermeable Rocks:

Permeable rocks are those that have spaces or pores between their particles, allowing water to pass through them. Examples include sandstone, limestone, and gravel. When it rains or water flows over these rocks, it can infiltrate the ground and move through the layers of rock, which enhances groundwater recharge and facilitates proper drainage.
Impermeable rocks (like granite or shale) don’t allow water to penetrate them. Water that falls on such rocks tends to run off the surface rather than soaking into the ground. This can create surface runoff, potentially leading to flooding, especially if there’s a lot of rainfall or if the area has steep slopes.

2. Rock Weathering and Erosion:

Over time, rocks can break down due to weathering (physical or chemical breakdown of rocks), which can increase the permeability of the surface layers. For example, when limestone weathers, it can create cracks or small channels that water can flow through more easily.
Soil type also influences the drainage. Sandy soils have larger particles that allow water to move through more easily, while clay soils have smaller particles and are more likely to retain water, leading to slower drainage.

2. Topography (Land Shape)

Topography refers to the surface features and how the land is shaped, which affects the movement of water. Here's how topography plays a role:

1. Slope of the Land:

Steep slopes lead to faster runoff because gravity causes water to flow more quickly. In these areas, water doesn't have time to soak into the ground, which can lead to erosion and flash flooding.
Gentle slopes or flat areas allow water to spread out and slow down. Water has more time to infiltrate into the ground, promoting better drainage. However, if the ground is too flat, water might not move away efficiently and can accumulate in low-lying areas, causing stagnant water or even flooding.

2. Elevation and Depressions:

High areas like ridges and mountains will naturally have water flowing down towards lower areas (valleys, plains).
Low-lying areas (valleys, depressions) tend to collect water. These areas are where you might find wetlands, lakes, or floodplains because water accumulates there more easily than on higher ground.

3. Drainage Basins:

A drainage basin is an area of land where all the water drains into a common outlet, such as a river or lake. The shape of the basin, the rivers or streams within it, and the overall slope of the land play a major role in determining how effectively water moves through the system.

3. Amount of Running Water

The quantity of water flowing through an area (either from rainfall or water bodies) is another critical factor in how the drainage system works.

1. Heavy Rainfall:

When there is a large amount of rainfall over a short period of time, especially in areas with steep slopes or impermeable surfaces, drainage systems can easily become overwhelmed. This often leads to surface runoff, which can cause flooding. Urban areas with concrete surfaces, for example, often struggle with drainage during heavy rains because the water cannot soak into the ground.

2. Stream Flow and River Systems:

Water flowing in rivers or streams also impacts the drainage. If a river has a high volume of water, it may flood its banks, especially if the surrounding area doesn’t have enough space to store the extra water. Conversely, smaller rivers or streams may have a more controlled drainage system.

3. Human Influence on Water Flow:

Dams, reservoirs, and artificial channels are human-made structures that can alter the flow of water. Dams slow down water flow to prevent flooding and store water for irrigation, hydropower, or recreational purposes. However, their presence can change the natural drainage patterns.

In sum, a well-functioning drainage system depends on a balance of these physical and environmental factors. If one of them is out of balance (for example, if there’s too much impermeable rock or not enough slope), drainage problems can arise. This is why understanding the interaction between rocks, topography, and water flow is so important in managing and designing effective drainage systems.

Hence Option D Is Correct.
