Carmel River Watershed

The Carmel River Watershed is an area in central California that collects rainfall and snowmelt, funneling this water into the Carmel River and its tributaries. This watershed plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem, supporting various plant and animal species, and provides drinking water to nearby communities. It also influences the region’s agriculture and recreational activities. The health of the watershed is vital for maintaining water quality and habitat, making conservation efforts important to ensure its sustainability for future generations. The watershed spans diverse landscapes, including forests, hills, and coastal regions.
