For example, the Columbia Basin, or watershed, is the large land base where all the water that falls as precipitation will eventually drain from, through a system of lakes, rivers, streams, reservoirs and glaciers, into the Columbia River. This water will eventually flow into the Pacific Ocean. Kicking Horse River Watershed contains all the land, rivers and streams that drain into the Kicking Horse River. 51°10'0"N Zinc Mtn KOOTENAY NATIONAL PARK # Much of the water resources in the Rocky Mountain Trench are found in aquifers.
