Save the Watershed

A watershed is the area drained by a river or a stream. Such an area slopes toward a common land trough. Some rain runs off, or drains, over the ground surface. Runoff water forms small streams, which flow into larger ones. These in time join to form rivers.

A natural watershed conserves water. It has clear streams and a cover of trees, grasses, and other plants. Plants help form a part of the topsoil called humus. Humus consists of rotting leaves and wood, germs, dead insects, and other plant and animal remains. It provides some of the nutrients for new plant life. Along with a network of roots, humus acts as a blotter that soaks up rain. Plants break the force of falling rain and scatter the drops over leaves and branches. Some of the water returns to the air by evaporation. Some of the water used by plants is passed through their leaves into the air again by transpiration. The rest of the water sinks into the earth through countless tiny channels. Some of the spaces through which water drains are caused by natural features of the land or soil itself. Others are made by plant roots and burrowing animals like earthworms, insects, and moles.

The level at which the earth is for all time saturated is known as the water table. This vast water supply under the ground changes with the seasons and the amount of rainfall. During long, heavy rains, the soil may not be able to soak up all the water. Some of it runs off the surface. In a forest watershed, it moves slowly. Deep snow that melts slowly allows water to soak into the soil gradually.

Sometimes trees in an area have been cut down due to poor forestry practices. Grasses and other plants may have been stripped off by fire, over-grazing, or poor farming practices. The water from rainfall then flows over the ground instead of being absorbed by the plant growth that once was there.

Mud closes the channels through which water sinks into the soil. If the land is level, the water stands in stagnant pools. If it slopes, thew water runs downhill into the rivers. Streams become brown with silt because the racing water carries soil along with it. In the summer, streams, springs, and wells carry dry up.
