Journal entry
After we talked about soil we moved on to drainage divides and drainage basins. The tour guide went on and said that the drainage divided is high ground between two drainage basins and he said a good example of this is the park, the help center is at the top of the hill were is does not get flooded because the drainage basin is where the water goes after it runs off from the high ground. As the tour guide rambled on he explained that a drainage basin is an area that is drained by a River and all the streams that empty into it.
Scientific information
Drainage basin- all water empties into this (streams,water from the divide, etc)
Drainage divide- high ground that divides two drainage basins
