From https://www.milwaukeeriverkeeper.org/whats-a-river-basin-whats-a-watershed/: A watershed is simply the area of land that catches rain and snow and drains or seeps into a marsh, stream, river, lake or groundwater. Both river basins and watersheds are areas of land that drain to a particular water body, such as a lake, stream, river or estuary. In a river basin, all the water drains to a large river. The term watershed is used to describe a smaller area of land that drains to a smaller stream, lake or wetland. There are many smaller watersheds within a river basin.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "Polygon watersheds created for administrative and public use.", "title": "mcgis.DBO.Watersheds", "tags": [ "Rivers", "Basins", "Watershed", "Drainage", "Hydrography", "Environment", "Water", "Mesa County", "Grand Valley" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 500000, "maxScale": 50000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "", "licenseInfo": "" }
