A watershed is a place where all water flows. So technically we're all in a watershed. We live in the Elm Fork of the Trinity River watershed. If the quality of our watershed is bad then our environment will be bad. Plants will have a hard time surviving which will cut down on our oxygen and make our quality of life much worse.
Watersheds have benefits. Watersheds protect water quality, maintain property values, prevent erosion and sedimentation problems, help sustain valuable resources like timber and crop lands, preserve good quality wildlife habitats, and provide places for tourism and recreation.
