James River Watershed
A sub-watershed divides into smaller drainage areas known as sub-sub-watersheds or catchments. Each of these smaller areas collects and channels surface water, precipitation, and runoff into streams, rivers, or other bodies of water. This hierarchical structure helps manage water flow and quality within a larger watershed system. Additionally, each sub-sub-watershed can have distinct ecological and hydrological characteristics influenced by its topography and land use.
In addition to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, which is the largest and most significant watershed in Virginia, the other two watersheds that drain Virginia waters are the Tennessee River Watershed and the Ohio River Watershed. The Tennessee River Watershed primarily affects the southwestern part of the state, while the Ohio River Watershed encompasses the northwestern region. These watersheds contribute to the diverse hydrological landscape of Virginia.
