Comment traduiriez-vous mitoyen dans ce contexte ?
Il s'agit d'une étude de terrain pour préparer un projet d'irrigation.

Voici la phrase :

Les 3 districts d’XX, XX et XX sont mitoyens. Ils correspondent à la partie amont du bassin-versant de la rivière XX à l’exclusion d’une zone au Nord-Ouest et de quelques petits secteurs périphériques qui relèvent d’autres bassins-versant et n’ont pas été prospectés.
