• Nile basinNarrower topic: The Nile basin is one watershed, bounded by divides that separate it from neighboring drainage systems.

• AqueductRelated: Aqueducts can divert water out of its watershed, changing where it is available.

• ForestRelated: Forest cover can alter runoff, erosion, and water quality across a watershed.

• Temperate deciduous forestRelated: Forest cover influences runoff, erosion, and water quality across its drainage areas.

• LakeRelated: Rain and runoff from this area supply the lake.

• MountainRelated: Mountain divides direct runoff into river basins and supply downstream waters.

• Terrace farmingRelated: Water entering a terrace system depends on the wider slope and drainage area.

• Mississippi River BasinNarrower topic: The basin is one of the world’s largest examples of this landform.

• Regional geographyBroader topic: Watersheds offer physically defined regions useful for environmental analysis and planning.

• Scale (geography)Broader topic: Watersheds provide process-defined boundaries for studying water and land.

• Topographic surveyingRelated: Elevation data reveal drainage divides and flow paths used in watershed analysis.

• Mountain passRelated: Many passes cross a watershed divide between neighboring valleys.

• ValleyRelated: Watersheds define which slopes and valleys drain toward the same outlet.

• Catchment areaCompared with: Its meaning varies by region, unlike the more consistently area-focused catchment area.

• Balkan MountainsNarrower topic: The range’s crest divides rivers flowing north toward the Danube from those flowing south.

• Mountain rangeRelated: Range crests often divide watersheds and direct water toward different regions.

• Water managementRelated: Watersheds define the landscape scale at which water moves and is managed.

• Olympic MountainsRelated: The mountains divide peninsula drainage into rivers flowing toward several coasts.

• BioregionalismRelated: Watersheds offer visible boundaries for organizing local ecological knowledge and stewardship.

• Khangai MountainsRelated: The Khangai divides and feeds several Mongolian river systems.

• Lake PátzcuaroNarrower topic: Land use across the basin affects the water and sediment entering the lake.

• Montane ecosystemRelated: Mountain watersheds capture and route water that supports downstream communities and ecosystems.

• Nanling MountainsNarrower topic: The Nanling divide water flowing toward two major river systems.

• Abies grandisRelated: Grand fir forests help regulate runoff and protect streams in mountainous watersheds.

• BaguioRelated: Baguio’s watersheds are vital to local water supply and vulnerable to development.

• Binalud MountainsRelated: The range’s ridges divide drainage toward surrounding settlements and basins.

• Casiquiare CanalRelated: The Casiquiare crosses the divide between the Orinoco and Amazon drainage systems.
