Abstract	Similarity criteria of rivers and river systems are studied. Zonal and azonal indicators of their similarity are established. The role of river system patterns in the changes of hydrographic and hydrologic characteristic of rivers in the passage from river heads to mouths is considered. The efficiency of applying fractal and indication analyses to river systems is examined. The extent and the scale effect of changes in various characteristics of the flow-channel systems are shown to depend on changes in river orders. The fractal dimension and the scale effects of their changes are correlated. A universal relationship between river orders, on the one hand, and river drainage area and river network density, on the other hand, was established. The root-mean-square error of the obtained formula, evaluated based on data on 274 watersheds, was 0.27, enabling it to be used in hydrological calculations under various landscape conditions.
