Ã Ä RIFE HOSELAW 28 BONNYVILLE WATERSHED BEACON CORNER A watershed/drainage basin is the water from an area of land which flows into one big body of water. Water will fall from the sky and collection into lakes, streams, wetlands, and rivers to collect into one big body of water, and for us, water drains into the Beaver River.
