The
simple definition
It's the area of land that catches rain
and snow and drains or seeps into a marsh, stream, river, lake or
groundwater.
You're sitting in a watershed
now
Homes, farms, ranches, forests, small
towns, big cities and more can make up watersheds. Some cross county,
state, and even international borders. Watersheds come in all shapes and
sizes. Some are millions of square miles, others are just a few acres.
Just as creeks drain into rivers, watersheds are nearly always part of a
larger watershed.
