Drainage area (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

basin

'drainage area' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for basin that I've seen before include "Round open dish for water" , "River-drained area" , "Water receptacle" , "Washbowl" , "Dock - vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
