An area of land that contributes water to a river system is called a watershed or drainage basin. It encompasses all the land where precipitation collects and drains into a common outlet, such as a river, lake, or ocean. Watersheds play a crucial role in managing water resources and maintaining the health of ecosystems by influencing water quality and quantity.
the area from which water drains into a river is called the river's catchment. A river's watershed is the connecting ridges surrounding the watershed, and separating it from adjacent ones.

The land and water that drain into a river system are collectively referred to as its watershed or drainage basin. This area includes all the surface water, such as streams and rivers, as well as groundwater that contributes to the flow of the river.

Activities within the watershed can significantly impact the health and sustainability of the river.
The greatest volume of water flowing into the Colorado River comes from the state of Utah. Specifically, the Green River, which is a major tributary of the Colorado River, contributes a significant amount of water, especially during spring runoff. Other tributaries, including those from Colorado and Wyoming, also add to the river's flow, but the Green River plays a crucial role in increasing the river's overall volume.
A watershed is not a building, it is an area of land that contributes run off to a given lake, stream, river or other body of water. It's purpose is to supply water to the water body. (From Ask.com)
