Question for the River Police (TM)

[Phlimm]

So what is the difference between that and what I have seen as critiques that lakes cannot drain to two rivers?

[s0meguy]

They can, but they come together again, thus creating an island in the river. Draining into 2 separate rivers doesn't happen because rivers erode and eventually one of the rivers erode deep enough to lower the level of the water, thus taking away the other river's supply of water. That's my understanding of why it is impossible anyway.
