included.
Comments:
In Table 1a.,
"drainage basin" is synonomous with "sub-drainage basin".
In the
introduction and overview
"drainage basin" is synonomous with "major watershed"
and "sub-basin" is synonomous with
"sub-watershed drainage basin".
"Sub-basin" is not synonomous with "sub-drainage
basin"
How many sub-watershed drainage basins are located in each sub-drainage basin?
