==Gallery== <gallery mode="packed" heights="150" style="text-align:left" caption="A gallery of major river basins with tributaries"> File:Amazonriverbasin basemap.png|The basin of the [[Amazon River]] is a system made up of many tributary streams. The streams shown on the map besides the Amazon are tributaries of the Amazon. File:Benuerivermap.png|The [[Benue River]] is fed by multiple tributaries originating in the [[Adamawa Plateau]]; many of the highest tributaries are seasonal streams. The Benue is itself a major tributary of the [[Niger River|Niger]]. File:Huairivermap.jpg|[[Huai River]] (itself a tributary of the [[Yangtze]]) and tributaries File:Jialingrivermap.png|[[Jialing River]] (itself a tributary of the [[Yangtze]]) and tributaries File:Liaorivermap.png|The [[Liao River]] is a much simpler example of a river basin with tributaries. The main tributaries noted on this map are the [[Hun River (Liao River tributary)|Hun River]], [[Taizi River]], [[Dongliao River]], [[Xinkai River]], [[Xiliao River]], [[Xar Moron River]] and the [[Laoha River]]. The Xiliao River's tributaries are the Xar Moron and Laoha rivers. File:Mekongbasin.jpg|The [[Mekong]] is a trans-boundary river, originating in the [[Tibetan Plateau]]. Its upper tributary river systems (e.g. {{Interlanguage link|ngom chu|zh|ζζ²}}) are restricted to narrow [[gorge]]s, but the tributaries that feed its lower reaches (e.g. the [[Mun River]]) cover larger areas. File:Vermilion wabashrivermap.png|The water basin of the [[Wabash River]]; the other rivers (not including the [[Ohio River]]) are tributaries of the Wabash River. The Vermillion River (and its [[river fork|forks]]) is a highlighted example of a tributary of the Wabash River. The Wabash River is also a tributary of the Ohio River, which in turn is a tributary of the [[Mississippi River]]. File:Yamunarivermap.jpg|The [[Yamuna]] is the second-largest tributary river of the [[Ganges]] and the longest tributary in [[Rivers of India|India]]. It flows almost parallel to the Ganges about its right bank for {{convert|1376|km}} before merging with it at the [[Triveni Sangam]], [[Allahabad]]. </gallery>
