What are Watersheds?

33139 Ashland Creek Watershed
Watersheds are areas of land where precipitation, snowmelt, brooks, streams, and tributaries flow into a common outlet such as a river, reservoir, or lake. They vary in size, depending on their location, and consist of an area’s total surface and groundwater. Ecologically, they affect the aquatic, terrestrial, floral, fauna, and social qualities of an area through stream flow which is why governance and management are needed to protect them.
