Watershed Analysis

Watershed analysis is the study of land areas that drain into a common water body, like a river or lake. It involves examining the physical features of the landscape, such as hills and valleys, to understand how water flows across the land. This analysis helps in managing water resources, predicting flood risks, and conserving habitats. By understanding how a watershed functions, planners and environmentalists can make informed decisions about land use and environmental protection, ensuring sustainable management of water and ecosystems for communities and wildlife.
