The word “catchment” refers to an area from which water is collected and drained into a common outlet, such as a river, lake, or reservoir. It can also refer to the system or structure designed to collect and store this water, often used in the context of water management and environmental studies. Additionally, in a broader sense, “catchment” can refer to a group of people or entities that are served by a particular service or facility, such as in educational or health care contexts.
