As far as I recall from my geography this is an 'Oxbow' bend, so-called because of the shape of the animals horns. Whether or not there is a term for the resulting cliff caused by the underctting action of the water I don't know.
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 beside a river is called a riverbank. It is the area along the edge of the river where the water meets the land.
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 watershed or drainage basin. It includes all the land and waterways that contribute runoff to that particular river system. Rainfall and other sources of water collect in the watershed, eventually flowing into the river and its tributaries.
The area normally covered by water when a river overflows its banks is called the floodplain. This is the flat, low-lying area surrounding the river that is susceptible to flooding during periods of high water flow. Floodplains serve as a natural buffer to absorb excess water and reduce the risk of damage to nearby communities.
It is called a delta.
The outside edge of an area is the perimeter.

The area of fertile soil at the mouth of a river is called river delta.

The area of land drained by a river is called a "catchment area". It is so-called because is the the area that catches the precipitation (rainfall).Another term is "river basin", but this is less specific.(The geographical term, "catchment area", is often used to describe the area served by, say, a school or hospital).
