    Watershed/ Drainage Basin: The land from which surface water drains into a river,
    lake, wetland, or other body of water.

    Reliable Runoff: The amount of surface runoff that we can generally count on as a stable
    source of freshwater from year to year.

    Withdrawal: Total amount of freshwater we remove from a river, lake, or aquifer for
    any purpose.
