Russian term
междуречье (не историческая область)
Russian to English
Science
Geography
In Russian we have a term "междуречье" to denote the territory between any two more or less parallel rivers. If I understand this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interfluve) wiki article correctly, in English interfluve is applicable only to rather small areas. Whereas, e.g. междуречье Оби и Енисея or Лено-Вилюйское междуречье are covering tens of thousands of square km and tens of landscape forms. So, is there a term in English that I can use to translate междуречье in such cases, or do I have to use constructions like "the territory between the Lena and Vilyuy Rivers"?

Спасибо, Михаил! Especially that KudoZ has become rather tardy over the last year (upon inevitable improvement, of course).
