GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The watershed is the area of land that drains or sheds water into a specific receiving waterbody, such as a lake or a river. As rainwater or melted snow runs downhill in the watershed, it collects and transports sediment and other materials and deposits them into the receiving waterbody.

Detailed explanation-2: -Watersheds drain rainfall and snowmelt into streams and rivers. These smaller bodies of water flow into larger ones, including lakes, bays, and oceans. Gravity helps to guide the path that water takes across the landscape. Not all rain or snow that falls on a watershed flows out in this way. Some seeps into the ground.

Detailed explanation-3: -A watershed is an area of land that drains all the streams and rainfall to a common outlet such as the outflow of a reservoir, mouth of a bay, or any point along a stream channel.

Detailed explanation-4: -A watershed is an entire river system-an area drained by a river and its tributaries. It is sometimes called a drainage basin.

Detailed explanation-5: -A WATERSHED is any area of land that water flows across or through.
