This area of land is called a watershed. Anything that happens in a watershed affects the lake, creek, wetland or pond it flows to. Watershed districts are charged with protecting and improving the water resources within their boundaries. Districts partner with local communities to identify top priorities and plan, implement and manage efforts to protect and improve water resources. They also work to engage and empower their community members to take part in the work of protecting clean water."
