Our Watersheds

We all live in a watershed. Watersheds are places we call home. Find your watershed: click on the map below! A watershed is an area of land that catches rain and snow and where water flows downward into a specific river, stream, lake, or aquifer (water in the ground). Think about your local creek, river, or stream. Where does it come from? What type of landscapes does it pass through? Where does the water in your backyard go? All of this area covered is your watershed. To learn more about how watersheds and aquifers work, visit Watersheds and Aquifers 101.
