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. The watershed is crucial for managing water resources, influencing water quality, and supporting ecosystems within the river system. Activities within the watershed can significantly impact the health and sustainability of the river.
