Subbasins

Subbasins are smaller divisions within a larger watershed or river basin, much like neighborhoods within a city. They are specific areas of land where water from rain or snow drains into a particular stream or tributary before joining the main river. These subdivisions help in managing water resources, monitoring environmental conditions, and planning for flood control or conservation. Understanding subbasins allows scientists and planners to better assess localized water flow, pollution sources, and ecological health, ultimately supporting more effective water management strategies across the larger basin.
