The Southern California coastal subregion, sometimes called the South Coast Hydrologic Subregion, is a second-level subdivision [1] covering is approximately 11,000 sq mi (28,000 km 2; 7,000,000-acre) and extends from Rincon Creek on the north to the international border with Mexico on the south.

A water resource region is the first level of classification used by the United States Geological Survey to divide and sub-divide the United States into successively smaller hydrologic units as part of the U.S. hydrologic unit system. This first level of classification divides the United States into 21 major geographic areas, or regions.
A hydrological code or hydrologic unit code is a sequence of numbers or letters (a geocode) that identify a hydrological unit or feature, such as a river, river reach, lake, or area like a drainage basin (also called watershed in North America) or catchment.
The Mid Atlantic water resource region is one of 21 major geographic areas, or regions, in the first level of classification used by the United States Geological Survey to divide and sub-divide the United States into successively smaller hydrologic units. These geographic areas contain either the drainage area of a major river, or the combined ...
Pardé coefficients for all months should add to 12 and are without a unit. The data is often presented is a special diagram, called a hydrograph, or, more specifically, an annual hydrograph as it shows monthly discharge variation in a year, but no rainfall pattern. The units used in a hydrograph can be either discharge, monthly percentage or ...
In hydrology, the drainage basin is a logical unit of focus [clarification needed] for studying the movement of water within the hydrological cycle. The process of finding a drainage boundary is referred to as watershed delineation. Finding the area and extent of a drainage basin is an important step in many areas of science and engineering.
Subsurface water may return to the surface in groundwater flow, such as from a spring, seep, or a water well, or subsurface return to streams, rivers, and oceans.Water returns to the land surface at a lower elevation than where infiltration occurred, under the force of gravity or gravity induced pressures.
