Watersheds: the neighborhoods built around moisture
September 15, 2015
Who, or what, depends on the moisture coming from one area? A watershed is an unofficial community built around water shared.
Rain falls, washes into streams or soaks into the earth, and joins with water from many places to support an environmental community, a watershed.
A watershed includes all the plants, animals—from dragonflies to grizzly bears—and people that depend on the moisture that falls or flows in one area.
