Why this word is great

CORRIVATION — [Noun] The flowing together or concentration of multiple streams into a single channel. From the Latin corrīvātiōn-em, from com- ("together") and rīvus ("stream"). Unlike "confluence," which names a static juncture, or "concentration," whose focus is diffuse, corrivation is the kinetic act of a watershed gathering itself. It is the capillary trickle from a dozen mountain clefts, the silver braiding of runoff in a gutter, and the hidden convergence in the dark earth before the river announces itself—the quiet, hydraulic truth that every major force begins as a scattering of minor ones.

noun

The flowing of different streams into one.“[…] and so likewise about corrivations of water to moisten and refresh barren grounds, to drain fens, bogs, and moors.”
The concentration of waters from a watershed to a remote outlet.
