<div id="ygrps-yiv-819798253">Shore is the immediate vicinity of the sea (the beach and perhaps some <br/>
distance inland, the distance being relative.<br/>
<br/>
Bank is the vertical or high-gradient wall (of earth) enclosing a river. A <br/>
river is contained between two banks, and in times of flood rises and tops <br/>
the banks. The Vic/NSW border is defined as the top of the left bank of the <br/>
river Murray, so is the break in slope between the normal terrain and the <br/>
bank, and of course this is well defined in some places and effectively <br/>
nonexistant in others.<br/>
<br/>
Watershed is either the basin in which water will percolate into a <br/>
particular river system, or the line of division between two such basins. <br/>
Drainage basin and water divide are alternate terms for each of these <br/>
divisions.<br/>

&gt;How is the term watershed defined in contrary to the term bank/shore?<br/>
