**Crisis in the Watershed** Did you know that “n o matter where you are, you are sitting, standing, or walking in a watershed”? It’s true! According to Smithsonian Environmental Research Center: “A watershed is an area of land that captures water in any form, such as rain, snow, or dew, and drains it to a particular stream, river, or lake. All land is part of the watershed for some creek, stream, river or lake.”Watersheds are both large and small, and they are more important than you may initially think. Why? Your watershed is important because it “is more than just an area of land that drains into a particular body of water. Your watershed “is also the ecological home of people, plants and animals.”

In short, a watershed impacts every living entity. Humans impact our watersheds. How? That's what we will explore through this project.
