Watershed maps for the whole world.

When you see how small, comparatively speaking, the watershed of the Nile (for example) is-the world just seems larger.

That is fascinating. I wish you could zoom in (can you somewhere?) It looks like each "river" is only the river that feeds into the ocean (e.g. the Mississippi, but not the rivers that feed into the Mississippi such as the Missouri or Red or Ohio. But then there seems to be a lot of land locked rivers in Africa and even in Texas that don't get to the ocean. I would like to see exactly what they are as there aren't that many Dead Seas or Salt Lakes.
