A river basin drains all the land around a major river. Basins can be divided into watersheds, or areas of land around a smaller river, stream or lake. Large river basins, such as the Neuse and Cape Fear, are made up of many smaller watersheds. The landscape is made up of many interconnected watersheds.
The edge of a river basin is called the watershed.
I believe its called a water shed but I'm not completely sure about that.AnswerA watershed (one word) is a ridge or other dividing line between stream catchments, although the term is (confusingly) also applied to the catchment area. Another term is drainage basin.
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 catchment is the correct answer. Commonly folk say 'watershed' but the watershed is the boundary (ridges etc) of the catchment.
Because a watershed is an area where water drains quickly from, and deposits into a river basin... so the source of water for the river basin would be contaminated. pussy is yummy.
