Every river flows along the deepest line of its drainage basin which is bound by ridgelines on either side. The aquifers (water bearing sandy layers under ground surface) also slope from the ridge toward river. During rains, the aquifers recharge, and then during the dry season, these aquifers drain into the river, thus keeping it flowing in non-rainy months.
