<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Watersheds and sub-basins in Mesa County, bordering the Gunnison and Colorado Rivers. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>From https://www.milwaukeeriverkeeper.org/whats-a-river-basin-whats-a-watershed/: A watershed is simply the area of land that catches rain and snow and drains or seeps into a marsh, stream, river, lake or groundwater. Both river basins and watersheds are areas of land that drain to a particular water body, such as a lake, stream, river or estuary. In a river basin, all the water drains to a large river. The term watershed is used to describe a smaller area of land that drains to a smaller stream, lake or wetland. There are many smaller watersheds within a river basin.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
