Watch this video for a better understanding of what a watershed looks like and how to find yours.
What does a healthy watershed look like?
A healthy watershed will produce streamflow in local rivers that are based on several factors. The hydrology of a watershed can be assessed by looking at several elements:
Identify the size of the watershed – how to identify the boundaries of a watershed (delineate the size of a watershed using a topographic map)
Identify the typical rainfall amounts at different elevations How much water evaporation occurs at different locations in the watershed
