Watershed

By Julie T.

    A watershed is an area where a  large number of streams and rivers all come together to form one large body of water such as an ocean.  Most watersheds are usually part of a larger watershed.  Streams and rivers pick up pollution from the surface runoffs they pass by.  A surface run-off is water that enters a river or a stream during a spring thaw of snow or ice .  Oceans end up becoming the "resting place " of tons of pollution.
