What is a Watershed? A watershed is an area of land that forms the drainage system for a stream or river. This area collects surface water.  Key features of a Watershed?
 * Mountains
 * Hills
 * Valleys
 * Different soil type

Also, they also provide the opportunity for recreation and enjoyment of nature. This is why it is important <span class="NormalTextRun SCX107962509" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14.66px;">to consider these downstream watersheds because they can impact our water quality.

A portion of this water is then returned to the atmosphere - it evaporates from land and water bodies and is released from plants (through transpiration from leaves) - to begin the cycle again

The <span class="SpellingError SCX107962509" style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14.66px;">Rouge <span class="NormalTextRun SCX107962509" style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: 14.66px;"> River is a 127 mile river in the Metro Detroit area of southeastern Michigan. It flows into the Detroit River at Zug Island, which is the boundary between the cities of River Rouge and Detroit.
