Watersheds Connecting People, Land and Water by John Jose, Watershed Specialist, Pike County Conservation District “When the land does well for its owner, and the owner does well by his land – when both end up better by reason of their partnership – then we have conservation.” ~ Aldo Leopold All lands covering the Earth’s surface are divided into watersheds. At any given time a person will find his or herself in the watershed where they live or as a visitor in a water- shed that other people call home. All lands covering the Earth’s surface A watershed can be com- are divided into watersheds. pared to a large basin that captures all the precipitation (rain, snow, etc.) that falls within its boundary. A wa- tershed boundary is formed by highpoints in the landscape, where an un- broken, continuous ridgeline creates a divide between adjacent basins. Each watershed has its own uniqueness based on climate, differences in topogra- phy (flat vs. rolling hills or mountainous), the types of plants and soils found there and, very importantly, both past and present land use activi- ties that have taken place. Examples of land use activities include commer- cial, industrial and residential development, farming, mining, logging, and recreational activities. Watersheds vary greatly in shape and size from the greater Atlantic Basin that extends from the Continental Divide to the east coast of the U.S., down to a smaller sub-watershed – or watershed within a watershed – of less than an acre draining into a local backyard pond. Pike County watersheds are part of the larger Delaware River Basin that drains portions of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
