2. watershed

Simply put, a watershed is “all the land area where the rain runs downhill to a certain point,” explains Carolyn Staudt, who leads NSF-funded science projects at the Concord Consortium on land use and its effects on water resources.

3. Healthy watersheds provide critical services, such as clean drinking water, productive fisheries, and outdoor recreation, that support our economies, environment and quality of life

What is an aquifer : natural underground storage area

What is the name for the land area where all rain runs downhill to a certain point : collection? normally would be called watershed.
