It shows the drainage basins for the major oceans and seas; grey areas are endorheic basins that do not drain to the ocean.

context_page_description: An endorheic basin, also called an internal drainage system, is a drainage basin, or watershed, that does not flow to one of the Earth's major oceans. This is unlike normal basins that collect in rivers and flow to the ocean. Endorheic basins usually end in a saline lake or a salt flat. They can be found in all parts of the world, but usually in desert locations.
caption: Major endorheic basins of the world. Basins are shown in dark gray; major endorheic lakes are shown in black.
