This covered pool is really a good example of a watershed. The blue cover represents the watershed, the area in which precipitation that falls flows down-gradient towards the lowest part of the basin, the center of the pool cover in this case. Likewise, in nature, water flows towards a valley, river, or lake.
The word watershed is sometimes used interchangeably with drainage basin or catchment. Ridges and hills that separate two watersheds are called the drainage divide. The watershed consists of surface water--lakes, streams, reservoirs, and wetlands--and all the underlying ground water.atersheds are important because the streamflow and the water quality of a river are affected by things, human-induced or not, happening in the land area above the river-outflow point.
