<p>A river basin is similar to a watershed, but it is much larger in area. The Mississippi River Basin, Colorado River Basin, and Salt River Basin include all of the lands that drain through these rivers and their tributaries. River basins contain upland watershed lands and large downstream drainage areas. Water and entrained sediment and chemicals connect upland watersheds and large river basins as they flow from one into the other. The upland watersheds in the Salt-Verde River Basin in north-central Arizona and the reservoirs of the Salt River Project, which is one of the oldest reclamation projects in the western United States, illustrate the water-flow connection between upland watersheds and a large river basin.</p>
