Read arrows as downstream flow in this simplified river network. Tributaries join larger channels. Follow the stated connections; the drawing does not represent every branch or real flood behavior.

Worked example

Branch A flows into C, and C into D. Water following this model from A next enters C, then D.

Two upstream branches A and B join channel C, which flows downstream into D. Arrows show flow direction. This is a simplified network, not a real river map or a flood forecast.

Would you believe it?

A contour line joins positions at the same elevation. Walking along a drawn contour is different from crossing uphill through several contours.

Question 1 Model 1: channel A flows into K; K flows into Exit-1. Which channel comes immediately after A? K A Exit-1

Question 2 Model 2: channel B flows into L; L flows into Exit-2. Which channel comes immediately after B? B Exit-2 L

Question 3 Model 3: channel C flows into M; M flows into Exit-3. Which channel comes immediately after C? Exit-3 M C

Question 4 Model 4: channel D flows into N; N flows into Exit-4. Which channel comes immediately after D? N D Exit-4

Question 5 Model 5: channel E flows into O; O flows into Exit-5. Which channel comes immediately after E? E Exit-5 O
