River Basin:All the land contributing water to a river system, from the headwaters to the river mouth.

Macro-level: Regional, National

Watershed:The land contributing water to a tributary of the river system, thus the river basin may consist of several watersheds.

Meso-level: Sub-national

Catchment:

A small area contributing water to a specific stream or to a specific feature (e.g. a reservoir).

Micro-level: Communes, Communities
