Best Answer

A catchment is the area draining to a single point.

A watershed bounds the extent of a river.

The profile of a river bed is called a thalweg - the line linking all the deepest points of a riverbed.

Then there are the statistical measures, such as mean annual flow, peak seasonal flow, and so on.

The subject forms part of the general field of hydrology.
