What is a Watershed?
nacdnet.org
What is a watershed?
(CLICK)
Is it a building?
Is it a shed with water running through it?
(CLICK)
Ideas?
NO
The simple definition
It's the area of land that catches rain and snow and drains or seeps into a marsh, stream,
river, lake or groundwater. You're sitting in a watershed now
Homes, farms, ranches, forests, small towns, big cities and more can make up
watersheds. Some cross county, state, and even international borders. Watersheds come
in all shapes and sizes. Some are millions of square miles, others are just a few acres.
Just as creeks drain into rivers, watersheds are nearly always part of a larger watershed.

Everyone lives in a watershed
nacdnet.org
EVERYONE LIVES IN A WATERSHED
A watershed is the land that water flows across or under on its way to a stream, river, or
lake. Landscape is made up of many interconnected basins or watersheds. Within each
watershed, all water runs to the lowest point such as a stream, river, or lake. On its way,
water travels over the surface and across farms, fields, forest lands, suburban lawns, and
city streets; or it seeps into
the soil and travels as groundwater. Large watersheds like the ones for the Mississippi
River, Columbia River, and Chesapeake Bay are made up of many smaller watersheds
across several states.

Earth's Water Facts
Of all water on earth
• 97.5% is salt water, and of the
remaining 2.5% fresh water,
some 70% is frozen in the polar
icecaps. The other 30% is mostly
present as soil moisture or lies in
underground aquifers. In the end,
less than 1% of the world's fresh
water (or about 0.007% of all
water on earth) is readily
accessible for direct human uses.
It is found in lakes, rivers,
reservoirs and in underground
sources.

How much is a gallon?
• If all the earth's water fit in a gallon jug,
available fresh water would equal just over a
tablespoon.
nacdnet.org
(Bring in an empty gallon jug to show how much 1 gallon is)
If all the earth's water fit in a gallon jug, available fresh water would equal just over a
tablespoon. Source:http://www.water.org/resources/waterfacts.htm
The gallons in current use are subdivided into eight pints or four quarts.
U.S. liquid gallon is legally defined as 231 cubic inches, and is equal to 3.785411784 liters
(exactly) or about 0.13368 cubic feet. This is the most common definition of a gallon.
ACTIVITY
Get a Gallon Container
Bring in a clear plastic gallon container from home or use one provided by your teacher.
Fill it up with water. Make a Guess
Take a good look at the gallon of water. How many gallons do you think you would use
to:
Wash your hands?
Brush your teeth? Take a shower? Take a bath? Flush the toilet? Get a drink? Wash
the dishes?
Water the lawn?
Wash the car? Running Water
Empty the gallon container of water. Get a stop watch or look at a clock that has a
second hand. Turn on a faucet so the water comes out very slowly. Put the empty
container under the faucet and at that very same moment start timing. Wait until exactly
one minute is up then turn off the faucet. How much water would you guess was in the
container? Half? One quarter? Completely full? If the container was completely full, the
flow rate of the water would be 1 gallon per minute. If the container was half full, the

As of 7-21-12 www.nacdnet.org/education and
nacdnet.org/education/contests/ [email protected]
National Association of Conservation Districts - NACD – Where does your water shed?
Poster contest promotional powerpoint
flow rate of the water would be 0.5 gallons per minute. What would you guess is the
flow rate of water for your case?
Empty the container. This time turn on the faucet so that the water is coming out very
quickly. Put the container under the faucet and start timing again for exactly one minute.
If the first container fills up, quickly move it out of the way and put another empty
container under the faucet. After one minute, turn off the faucet. How many containers
were filled with water? What would you guess the flow rate of water to be in this case?
Is Flow Rate Important?
Think about the two flow rates that you observed in Step 3. What if you were washing a
dirty dish in the sink and it took you 2 minutes to wash the dish.
How much water would you use if the water was coming out very slowly (flow rate #1)?
How much water would you use if the water was coming out very quickly (flow rate #2)?
Do you think flow rate is important for determining how much water is used?
Comparing Gallons and Liters
Here in the U.S. we still use gallons to measure the quantity of many liquids. However,
that is starting to change. Can you think of anything that is measured in liters instead of
gallons?
If you would like to convert gallons to liters (or liters to gallons), try using one of the
conversion calculators in the Reference Material section.

Earth's Water Facts
• Water makes up almost
two-thirds of the human body,
and seventy percent of the brain.
• While usage varies from community to community
and person to person, on average, Americans use
183 gallons of water a day for cooking, washing,
flushing, and watering purposes. The average family
turns on the tap between 70 and 100 times daily.

Storm water marking
nacdnet.org
When it rains – the water along streets have to go somewhere. If it is a larger city they
have storm drains and many groups are marking the drains to remind people to not put
anything into the drains that could end up in our rivers and streams. Water in the storm
drain goes directly to river or stream. They use markers (CLICK) or sometimes (CLICK)
stencils.

You can help!

You can help by washing your dog and your cars in the grass so the water can run into
the soil where the soil helps clean the water like a filter - instead of it running down a
driveway into a storm drain – where the soap will go into the rivers or streams before it
can be cleaned!
What are some other ways you can help.

Examples:
No littering!
Recycling
Washing cars in the grass
