Posts in this category are about Water. A watershed may be defined as the collection land surfaces draining to the same body of water. Virtually all watersheds have been modified or degraded by development, often resulting in the deterioration of water quality, damage to plant and animal communities, erosion, and other wounds.
In order to preserve water quality, watersheds must be treated as whole surface- and groundwater systems, and restoring a full complement of natural processes will maintain a full suite of valuable ecosystem services.
