Catchment

Definition

A catchment is an area of land that is drained by a river and its tributaries.

Delineation criteria

Delineation can be made based on the topographic divide (watershed) using digital elevation models (DEM) and a Geographic Information System (GIS), or with an existing catchment boundary database.
