1. A watershed is an area of land that drains all the catch rainfall to a common outlet such as a reservoir, bay, or point along a stream. Key parts include the headwaters, main channel, tributaries, confluence, and mouth.
2. Delineating watershed boundaries is important for determining the catchment area that drains to an outlet. This involves identifying the drainage outlet and catchment boundary.
3. Watershed delineation can be more complex in urban areas where it depends on factors like road and culvert elevations, compared to rural and mountainous areas.
