Water on each side of a divide moves in response to difference in water potential . This is influenced by solutes, pressure, and gravity. In various scenarios such as a river or a semi permeable membrane, water moves from a region of higher potential to lower potential until equilibrium. ;
Water on each side of a divide flows due to gravity and the influence of watersheds. The divide determines the ultimate destination of the water, with each side directing flow to different rivers or seas. Observing how topography impacts water movement is essential for understanding geographical systems.
