About

    Watersheds are geographical areas of land that drain into a common body of water, such as a river, lake, or ocean. They are important systems for the management of water resources and play a crucial role in the cycling of water through the environment. Research in watersheds encompasses various aspects, including hydrology, ecology, water quality, land use management, and climate change impacts. Scientists study watersheds to better understand how water flows through the landscape, how human activities impact water resources, and how to sustainably manage and protect these valuable ecosystems. By studying watersheds, researchers can develop strategies for conservation, restoration, and sustainable water management practices.
