What Is A Watershed?


A watershed or water basin is the region of land that drains into a specified body of water such as a river, lake, or creek. Rain that falls anywhere within a given body of water's watershed will eventually drain into that body of water. A map of the Papillion Creek Watershed is show below and drains into the Missouri River.
