    This might be worth a read through to see if it clarifies anything in your mind about these things.

    It could be that lower elevations fill with water but it could be that it drains. Water will tend to flow with an amazingly small drop in elevation. Only when its a full basin will it possibly accumulate and then it depends more on weather esp for evaporation and the ground permeability etc. So its not assured what would happen.

    In general, yes, such depressions would fill and then "spill over". Depending upon the landscape it might then quickly erode a canyon or water gap and drain the lake.
