A feeder doesn't stream straightforwardly into an ocean or sea. A conjunction, where at least two waterways get together, generally alludes to the joining of feeders.

Tributary or Feeders are little surges of water that join the standard waterway to expand its water supply. They start from glacial masses, lakes and underground water streams. They join the waterway during its course for the most part in its center and more youthful stage.
