A drainage basin (commonly referred to in North America as a watershed and Australia as a water catchment) is a region of land where water from rain or snowmelt drains downhill into a body of water, such as a river, lake, dam, estuary, wetland, sea or ocean. 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. In addition to drainage basin and watershed, the following terms can be used to describe the same concept: catchment, catchment area, or catchment basin; drainage area; river basin; water basin)
