Description Water is one of the basic natural landscape components. It is quite difficult to represent it in any landscape typology, with exception of indirect information on soil humidity conditions, rock permeability and ground water presence. Flowing water generates drainage networks and produces its traces in the terrain as valley networks. Both these networks link landscape units into an operational system. The drainage network and its product - valley network play some kind of a landscape skeleton keeping the landscape system together. In highest mountains, the valley network dominates the territory and ridges and valleys characterize the area. In sub-mountain areas in hilly lands and plateaus, the erosion power of water courses is enough to cut valleys only in the stream middle courses. The lower water courses demonstrate the accumulation activity and form alluvial plains accompanying rivers. The valley network this way defined links units of the rest of any landscape.
