A river shed, more commonly known as a watershed, is an area of land that drains rainwater and snowmelt into a specific river or stream. It encompasses all the land and water bodies within its boundaries, directing the flow of water to a common outlet, such as a river, lake, or ocean. Watersheds play a crucial role in managing water resources, influencing ecosystems, and supporting biodiversity. They also impact water quality and availability for surrounding communities.
