watershed modeling

Watershed modeling is a scientific process that simulates how water moves through a specific geographic area, called a watershed. It considers factors like rainfall, land shape, soil type, and vegetation to predict how water flows across the land, collects in streams, or infiltrates into the ground. This helps experts understand water availability, manage flood risks, plan for pollution control, and make informed decisions about water resources. Essentially, it's a tool to visualize and analyze the complex interactions of water within a landscape to support sustainable management.
