Where would soil be expected to erode the fastest?
Soil would be expected to erode the fastest at an area where there is fast moving water downslope. This occurs close to watershed where there is a turbulent flow and high hydraulic action.
How does lake turnover renew the supply of nutrients in the water?
Lake turnover can either improve or worsen the condition of the water. If the new water comes from a fresh, clean source, then the supply of nutrients in the water would be renewed.

By observation of the relative altitudes of the land mapped, a watershed area may then be intuited by the larger distance between lay lines.

A building will effect a watershed because if you have a building, it will cover up some of the land that was used where the water flows so you would have to redirect the water flow to a different area.
How is it possible for one polluted site in a watershed to contaminate a whole river basin?
Because a watershed is an area where water drains quickly from, and deposits into a river basin... so the source of water for the river basin would be contaminated. pussy is yummy.

Why are watersheds are important?
Watersheds provide many of us with our drinking water supply, plus recreational opportunities and aesthetic beauty. Watersheds are areas from which water runs into a public water supply. Thus, much of the water you drink from a public source has passed through a watershed. Because of this, it's important that care be taken to minimize any contaminents that may find their way into a public water supply. A small example of a watershed would be the hills around a reservoir. A larger example would be the portions of Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Washington DC that are designated Chesapeake Bay watershed.
How can you improve the quality of water?
Depends on the aspect of quality that needs to be improved. If the raw water contaminant is chemical that processes such as dissolved air flotation, absorption and sand filtration can be used. If the contaminant is organic, the above process with help also, but the addition of chlorine or other disinfectant would been needed to make the water potable.
How would Ruth gauge water quality?
Ruth Patrick gauged water quality by putting it on a scale.
