What is a Watershed?
What are they?
A watershed is an area of land that channels rainfall and snowmelt to creeks, streams, and rivers, eventually leading to outflow points such as reservoirs, bays, and the ocean.
Watershed Sizes
Watersheds can be any size and usually have some high points of land like hills, mountains, or ridges.
One Water
All land across the entire earth is made up of watersheds. We all live in a watershed. We share the water in our watershed with other people, with animals, and with plants because... it is all one water.
