Watersheds

As spring begins, we spend a lot of time thinking about rain: in other words, the water cycle. But what about watersheds? All of our New Hampshire rivers have their own unique watersheds, and the rain that falls on the land in that watershed drains into a specific waterway. Learn more about watersheds and why they’re important through this lesson! When you’re done, you can make your own watershed model at home using some basic supplies: plain paper, markers, and a little bit of water.
