A watershed is an area of land where all the water drains to a common point such as a lake or river. A wetland is an area of land that is covered by water, either temporarily or permanently, and supports unique plant and animal species adapted to wet conditions. Wetlands can be part of a watershed but not all watersheds contain wetlands.
