Another name for a drainage basin is watershed or even a catchment basin/area

<u>Explanation</u>:

It is a piece of land where water collects and later drains off into the same outlet. This water gets collected from rain, snowfall, underground water and nearby narrow streams. They form a hierarchical pattern by connecting with other basins.

The drainage divide is what divides basins from one another by forming topographical barriers. Close basin is one type where there is a single point known as the sink within the basin where all the water collects. This sink could a lake which is dry or an area where all water on surface is lost underground.

Because Mexico–U.S. migration represents the largest sustained migratory flow between two nations worldwide, much of the theoretical and empirical work on migration in the Americas has focused on this single case. Yet in the past few decades, migration has emerged as a critical issue across all nations in Latin America and the Caribbean. Indeed, over the past fifteen years, this region has changed its historical position from a net migrant-receiving region to one of the leading sending areas of the world.
