Abstract:

The Cuvelai Basin is perhaps unique in the world as a drainage system that consists of hundreds of channels that join and separate thousands of times. Most of the channels are dry for much of the year. The flows that do occur vary between slow trickles and massive floods that slowly make their way down the drainage system. All the water evaporates, is transpired by plants, or seeps away into the ground. This is an inland drainage with no outlet to the sea.
