A watershed is the landform that separates two catchment areas.

Commonly a ridge or a spur. The form of the watershed may be affected by erosion, or more rarely, by tectonic land uplift / subsidence forces.

Why is the bottom of a watershed affected by the top?

The bottom of a watershed is affected by the top due to the gravitational flow of water, which moves from higher elevations to lower areas. As precipitation and runoff travel downhill, they carry sediments, nutrients, and pollutants, impacting the ecology and water quality of streams and rivers at the watershed's base. Additionally, land use and vegetation patterns at the top can influence water infiltration and runoff characteristics, further affecting the hydrology of the lower areas. Thus, activities or changes at the top can have significant downstream consequences.
