Watersheds are created by the natural topography of the land, where water flows downhill to a central point such as a river, lake, or ocean. Factors like precipitation, elevation, and soil type contribute to the formation of watersheds. Human activities can also impact watersheds by altering the landscape and affecting the natural flow of water.
