6. Trellis Drainage


Trellis is a rectangular pattern formed where two sets of structural controls occurs at right angles. In a trellis pattern, the river forms a net like system and the tributaries flow roughly parallel to each other. The old folded mountains of the Singhhhum (Chotanagpur Plateau) have a drainage of trellis pattern (Fig. 3.2-B).
