Watershed management is a field of study and practice that focuses on ensuring the sustainability and health of a watershed, which is a geographic area where all water flows to a common point, such as a stream, river, lake, or ocean. This includes managing water resources, protecting water quality, controlling flooding, and preserving natural habitats within the watershed. Watershed management involves a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates aspects of hydrology, ecology, engineering, and social science to develop and implement strategies for sustainable water resource management. The ultimate goal of watershed management is to achieve a balance between the competing needs of water users, while maintaining the overall health and integrity of the watershed ecosystem.
