What is a "feeder"?

A feeder refers to a smaller channel or stream that directs water into a larger body of water, such as a river, lake, or reservoir. It helps supply water to areas that need it by connecting to larger systems. Feeders are essential for maintaining water levels in the primary channels and for ensuring a continuous flow. These smaller channels often come from nearby sources, like springs, and feed into bigger systems to support agriculture, industry, or drinking water needs.
