Why does the vegetation grow in this pattern? Is the river depositing something in its previous basins and streams that give plants their N, P & K in the otherwise hostile soil? Thank you.

I'm seeing the vegetation growing in the drainage channels and only the drainage channels. Even dry channels capture some water during a rain and retain some moisture afterwards. So it's simply water that the plants crave (not Gatorade). I don't think N,P, or K play any significant role in vegetation distribution here.
