A drainage basin is an area of land where surface water from rain and melting snow or ice converges to a single point, usually the exit of the basin, where the waters join another waterbody, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea, or ocean. The largest basins are Timor Sea, North East Coast, Gulf of Carpentaria, and Murray Darling Basin.
