What is a Watershed?
A watershed is the land that water flows over or under on its way to a larger body of water. There are two types of water in a watershed:
- Surface water flows over the land.
- Ground water flows under the land.
Watershed Address
Did you know that you have a watershed address just as you have a street address? Take a look at the Watersheds of Chester County map. Can you figure out your watershed address as a resident or visitor of Chester County? This map features river tributaries, streams and creeks that flow toward a river. What is your river tributary address?
Activity Directions
Find the slider with the line drawn to your neighborhood then lift to reveal the name of the river or bay into which the surrounding tributaries flow. Can you figure out your creek address using the map and basin legend? For example, the tributary address here at Black Rock Sanctuary is Schuylkill River Tributaries, with the creek address of Schuylkill River Drainages.
