The drainage basin includes both the streams and rivers that convey the water as well as the land surfaces from which water drains into those channels. The drainage basin acts like a funnel - collecting all the water within the area covered by the basin and channeling it into a waterway. Each drainage basin is separated topographically from adjacent basins by a ridge, hill or mountain, which is known as a water divide or sometimes a watershed (in those parts of the world where the drainage basin itself is not called a watershed). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_basin -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2006-12-21 15:01:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://wfscnet.tamu.edu/courses/wfsc414/lectures/ecosystm.ht...
