A divide is the elevated boundary separating areas that are drained by different river systems. For this reason, the feature is often called a drainage divide. Water flowing on one side of a divide empties into one body of water, while water flowing on the other side empties into another.
Divides range in height from a slight rise in the land to the crest of a mountain range. A divide on the low-lying flood plains of northern Belgium, for example, may rise no higher than a few meters.
