Explanation:
A drainage basin is any area of land where precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as into a river, bay, or other body of water. The drainage basin includes all the surface water from rain runoff, snowmelt, hail, sleet and nearby streams that run downslope towards the shared outlet, as well as the groundwater underneath the earth's surface.[1] Drainage basins connect into other drainage basins at lower elevations in a hierarchical pattern, with smaller sub-drainage basins, which in turn drain into another common outlet.

W szczególnym przypadku, kiedy punkt zamykający znajduje się w miejscu ujścia danej rzeki do recypienta, obszar zlewni ograniczony działem wodnym wyznaczonym w ten sposób nazywa się dorzeczem
