Audits can also be divided by the type of auditor.
All rivers are surrounded by a certain amount of land that is higher in altitude (upgradient) than the actual river. Precipitation that falls in this area eventually flows downhill towards the river. At any particular point on a river, the land upgradient of the point is the river's watershed, or drainage basin.This example of a watershed gives a rough idea of how precipitation flows downhill into rivers (and lakes). What separates two watersheds from each other are ridges of higher land.ll rivers are surrounded by a certain amount of land that is higher in altitude (upgradient) than the actual river.

Orographic precipitation, also known as relief precipitation, is precipitation generated by a forced upward movement of air upon encountering a physiographic upland (see anabatic wind).This lifting can be caused by two mechanisms:1  The upward deflection of large scale horizontal flow by the orography.n orographic map of Eastern Siberia from 1875 by Peter Kropotkin. Orography (from the Greek ÏÏÎ¿Ï, hill, Î³ÏÎ±ÏÎ¯Î±, to write) is the study of the topographic relief of mountains, and can more broadly include hills, and any part of a region's elevated terrain.
