  • Guide to TN Watersheds
    What Is a Watershed? A watershed is all the land area that drains into a given body of water. Small watersheds combine to become big watersheds, sometimes called basins. When water from a few acres drains into a little stream, those few acres are its watershed. When that stream flows into a larger stream, and that larger stream flows into a bigger river, then the initial small watershed is now part of that river’s watershed. Watersheds are a logical way to think about the connection between the land and the quality of water we enjoy. How we manage and treat the land has a direct impact on the ability of water to support a number of im- portant public uses like swimming, fishing, aquatic species habitat and drinking water supply. We all live downstream from someone, and what happens in a watershed does not just stay in that watershed. Managing Programs by Watershed Tennessee’s water-protection program focuses on watersheds because it’s the Advisory Groups best way to evaluate, protect and improve the quality of all the waters in the state.
