The imaginary line that divides two watersheds is called a "drainage divide" or simply a "divide." A watershed, also known as a drainage basin, is an area of land where precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as a river, bay, or other body of water. The divide is the elevated boundary that separates neighboring watersheds. On one side of a divide, water flows down into one watershed, while on the other side, water flows into another, adjacent watershed. The divide can range from a slight rise in the land to a high mountain range.
