DO YOU KNOW
YOUR WATERSHED?
During a rainstorm, the rainwater flows over the land and becomes stormwater runoff. This stormwater runoff runs downhill to our streams, creeks, and rivers.
The land area that drains rainwater runoff is called a watershed.
What is a watershed? How does it work?
We all live in a Watershed ~ Sing-along!
Have you seen these signs?
Have you seen these signs along the roadway around town?
These signs tell you what watershed you are entering. Look for the watershed signs next time you are in the car. Watch out for them in Boone County as more signs get installed each year.
