Les cours d'eau, qui forment un vaste réseau recouvrant tout le pays, constituent les voies d'écoulement naturelles des eaux de surface. Celles-ci proviennent principalement du ruissellement et du débit de base. Le ruissellement est formé de l'écoulement superficiel ou souterrain (écoulement divergent) des eaux pluviales vers les cours d'eau ou rivières. Le débit de base résulte de l'émergence des eaux de la nappe phréatique. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9bit%20de%20base
