 Glossary
A. A river drains the water collected from a specific area, which is called its ‘catchment area’
B. An area drained by a river and its tributaries is called a drainage basin.
C. The boundary line separating one drainage basin from the other is known as the watershed.

Now , where does the catchment area get water from?

Rivulets, Streams, Rills

Okay

So, If these Rivulets , Streams and Rills are big enough and form a big river directly.. The Catchment area of
a Big River can be termed as a River Basin

With that logic, the Catchment area of the small rivulets, Streams can be termed as Watershed

River Basin: Large in Area

Watershed: smaller in Area
