This article is about a lesser flow of water. For other uses, see Tributary (disambiguation). Looking upstream, the Shenandoah River (left) is a tributary of the larger Potomac River (right) A tributary [1] or affluent [2] is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream or main stem (or parent) river or a lake.

[4] Tributaries and the main stem river drain the surrounding drainage basin of its surface water and groundwater, leading the water out into an ocean. A confluence, where two or more bodies of water meet together, usually refers to the joining of tributaries. The opposite to a tributary is a distributary, a river or stream that branches off from and flows away from the main stream. [5] Distributaries are most often found in river deltas.
