Rivers & Watersheds
Every raindrop that lands on a hill is already on a journey. Where is it going — and what decides its path?
Follow the dropThe stages of Rivers & Watersheds
Rain lands across a whole slope — the watershed.
Gravity pulls every drop to the lowest path it can find.
Small streams meet and merge into a growing river.
The river carries the water to a lake or the sea.
Questions about Rivers & Watersheds
What is a watershed?
