An uplift of a mountain, can affect drainage in following ways:

  1. The uplift can increase the supply of coarse sediment.
  2. The uplift can increase precipitation into the drainage.

What is precipitation?

  • Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, frost, sleet, snow, or hail.
  • This is the main link in the hydrological cycle that delivers atmospheric water to  Earth.
  • Most precipitation falls in the form of rain.
  • The most normal types of precipitation are rain, hail, and snow.
  • Rain is precipitation that falls on the surface of the earth in the form of water droplets.
  • Raindrops form around microscopic cloud condensation nuclei such as:  Dust particles or pollutant molecules.  
  • Weeks of  heavy rainfall  mean that catchments reach saturated capacity  quickly after storms.
  • This could cause groundwater levels to rise, further increasing the likelihood of exceeding their saturated drainage.
