river’s health. In natural environments like forests, trees and other plants build up on the river banks, dropping leaves, logs and other organic debris into the water. This provides nutrients to feed other organisms as well as hiding places for creatures to live in. Human developed environments on the other hand often negatively affect the cleanliness and health of a river. Farmlands for instance create an unnatural feeding ground where animals such as cows graze on the plant life that keeps the river bank stable and healthy, while also overloading it with animal waste. Paved surfaces like streets, parking lots and driveways for instance create a surface for water to run off too quickly increasing flood risks and also washing down harmful chemicals and other human waste. There are many other human alterations to the environment that can severely damage our river ecosystems such as LITTER!
what is a Watershed? It is an area of land where all of the water that is under it, or drains off of it collects into the same place (e.g. The River).
Precipitation Imagine all of the rain that falls up on those steep mountains in the distance... When water hits a steep surface, there is only one way for it to go: downhill! Gravity pulls water downhill as fast as it can taking the easiest path it can find. This water (including melted snow) eventually comes together (runoff) to form small streams which meet other streams further down and so forth until a river is formed. Where is it going you may ask? Well some of it seeps into the ground to form groundwater, some is used by people and animals then recycled, but most of it flows until it reaches sea level, which is usually the ocean, but also may be a large lake. The Health of a River Throughout a river’s journey to the ocean, it flows through a landscape that is rich in diverse land uses from lush forests and deserts to farmland, cities, and manufacturing plants. Each of these environments has an impact on the
