Lecture ERS 482/682 (Fall 2002) Why watersheds? ERS 482/682 Small Watershed Hydrology

Lecture ERS 482/682 (Fall 2002) Definition –ridge or stretch of high land dividing the areas drained by different rivers or river systems (e.g., Continental Divide) –the area drained by a river or river system –an area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off of it goes into the same place
