Watersheds are associated with creeks, streams, rivers, and lakes, but they are much more. A watershed is a highly evolved series of processes that convey, store, distribute, and filter water that, in turn, sustain terrestrial and aquatic life. Here we explore a cross-section of a natural, undeveloped river corridor to see how trees and wetlands, floodplains and uplands handle water.
