водосбор на горното течение


Explanation:
Полиглотичен речник на хидрогеоложки термини и понятия, бълг.-рус.-англ.-фр.-исп.-нем., 2007, 1 942 термина (бълг.) (+ с букви), 448 с.

--------------------------------------------------

В цитирания речник се дава на първо място водосбор и после: водосборен басейн, водосборна област, речен басейн, хидроложки басейн. На английски има няколко превода, един от които е watershed.

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 4 hrs (2008-11-25 14:13:30 GMT)

Ibid.: Площта, ограничена от повърхностния водораздел, се нарича водосборна област.

Другите английски преводи са: drainage basin, catchment area, catchment basin, drainage area, river basin, hydrological basin. Те общо взето съответстват на българските.
