Watersheds

A watershed is the area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off of it goes into the same place. The watershed that I live in is Elm Fork of the Trinity River (12030103). It is important to monitor the quality of water in the watersheds because the water has an impact on the community that it resides in, be it polluted or clean. Some benefits that our community gets from watersheds is that they give clean drinking water, and they can be used for energy production.
