What is a Watershed?
A watershed is an area of land where all the water that falls on it, or drains off it, collects and flows to a common outlet. This could be a river, a lake, or even the ocean. Think of it like a giant funnel. All the small streams and rivers in a watershed eventually join together. The Nelson River watershed is a very large one in Canada.
