Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A watershed is an area of land that drains or “sheds” water into a specific waterbody. Every body of water has a watershed. Watersheds drain rainfall and snowmelt into streams and rivers.
Detailed explanation-2: -A watershed, also called a drainage basin or catchment, is an area drained by a river and its tributaries.
Detailed explanation-3: -The watershed for a pond includes all the land area around and above the pond that drains water into the pond. This does not include the land below the pond that drains water away into a stream or creek. A watershed is sometimes called a drainage area, but it is more than just a place or space.
