A WATERSHED is an area of land that water drains to a common water body such as a stream, river or lake.  On its way, water travels across farm fields, forest land, suburban lawns and city streets possibly picking up contaminants and distributing them in that water body.  

Watersheds can be of all sizes - ranging from your backyard, to all the land draining to the Ohio River.  Every watershed is important, and since we ALL live in a watershed, our actions can help protect and maintain the quality of water from our backyard to the Ohio! 
"The Mission of the White Oak Creek Watershed Partners is to bring together local communities to enhance water quality and encourage natural resource protection."
