Everyone lives in a watershed. Everything that happens on the land affects the water in that watershed. A watershed is all the land from which water drains into a specific body of water. Sections of connected hills and valleys form each watershed. Small watersheds make up a larger watershed. Everyone lives in a watershed, and all land on Earth is part of some watershed.– Texas Aquatic Science Chapter 3: What’s Your Watershed Address?
