A watershed is an area of land that channels rain water into creeks, streams and rivers. When rain falls on land, some of the water soaks into the ground, some evaporates and some flows over the land towards streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands ultimately ending in the ocean, bay or underground reservoir (Shepardson et al., 2007).
Every place on land is a watershed including where we live, work, play and go to school!
