In geography, a confluence is the meeting of two or more bodies of water. It usually refers to the point where two streams flow together, merging into a single stream.
ANSWER 2
Score 10
You can also use the word junction, as in the
junction of the Grand and the Green
near Moab, Utah.
ANSWER 3
Score 5
It can either be a tributary or a distributary, where a river joins another or separate from one respectively.
It is called a confluence. A tributary is a smaller river joining a larger one. A distributary is a river flowing into the sea.
ANSWER 4
Score 1
You could also use the word "fork" which is less formal. A watershed is all of the land area that a given body of water drains.
