Abstract: In watershed study, watershed division is an important research method. For naming the unit of watershed division, there are two commonly used Chinese expressions in literature, ziliuyu (子流域) and yaliuyu (亚流域), but not yet standardized. Based on analyzing use habits and linguistic structures, we recommend yaliuyu (亚流域) as the standard form, and give the analysis of the corresponding English expressions.

Key words: watershed, subwatershed, subbasin, subcatchment
