Reply to comment by Tracorre in Rivers of the World! coloured according to the major hydrological basins they are part of. [OC] by symmy546

There are 10 river basin districts in England.

Anglian, Dee, Humber, North West, Northumbria , Severn, Solway Tweed, South East, South West, Thames

Therefore, England should have ten colors, not one as shown on this map.

Well yes, but if it did that it would be creating very small river basins all along various coastal areas. All of the US coasts have this same issue, and much of the African coasts and SouthEast Asia, etc. There is a grouping compromise being done somewhere to prevent having so many small basins. A map of this type of just one country could split them up, but whole world would be just too busy.

Italy is split ip to east and west coast. Roughly the same size as England, and smaller than England, Scotland, Wales combined.

Greenland, Sweden, Norway also wrong.

There is no way All of the rivers in England belong to the same hydrological basins. The Thames, east coast is very distinct to the Severn, west coast.
