  abstract = {{D}rainage network patterns influence the hydrological response of the watersheds and must be taken into account in the management of the water resource. {I}n this context, it is important to identify the factors that control the configuration of drainage networks in and beyond specific climatic conditions. {H}ere, we study 318 basins spread over three sectors (arid, semi-arid, and semi-humid) of {M}orocco where seven drainage network patterns have been identified. {F}rom each basin, 14 parameters were extracted, describing the relief, geology, morphometry, drainage network, land cover, precipitation, and time of concentration ({T}c). {P}rincipal component analysis ({PCA}) and discriminant analysis ({DA}) processing were performed on the entire database and on each sector separately. {T}he results show that the drainage network pattern is a feature of the landscape that contributes significantly to the variance of the basins. {T}hey suggest that the distribution of network patterns is controlled by the relationship between the different parameters, mainly those related to the relief, more than by the variations of each parameter taken individually. {T}he network discrimination rate is 63.8%, which improves when each sector is treated separately. {C}onfusion in discrimination are similar across all sectors and can be explained by similar conditions (active tectonic, deformation, and uplift) or transitions from one network pattern to another, due to the landscape evolution of certain sectors. {A} contribution of climatic variables appears locally but was attributed to a statistical coincidence, these parameters presenting a distribution close to that of the relief and geology variables.},
