Watersheds

Watersheds
Hi my name is Siera I’m going to talk to you about watersheds.
A watershed carries water from the land after rain falls and snow melts. Drop by drop water is put into soils, groundwater, creeks, and streams, making its way to larger rivers and eventually the sea. The bad thing about watersheds is that it affects water quality from all communities living downstream because it could wreck there houses, cars, and all there belongings. In Saskatchewan we have 13 major watersheds. Water’s journey beings at the highest point separating water into river systems. Tons of million of people live within the larger watersheds. There is a watershed at Regina Beach called Long Lake.
Watersheds are important to use because we need it for showering, we need it to drink. With out water we can get dehydrated. It’s very important for tour fish, and reptile friends. We use water for everyday use. For example: cooking we use water in our food. We also use water for cleaning and, hygiene. We need water to survive.
I interact with water by taking a shower or baths everyday. I drink water about 8 times a day. When I cook I use water. I take showers and baths we wash my hands in water; I even swim in water every week. Why do I interact with water? So I can keep my hygiene clean! So I can live and keep living things alive, like plants, animals, humans!
We are surrounded by watersheds, every where we go. Homes, farms, ranches, forests, small town, big town, and others could make up watersheds. Watersheds come in all shapes and sizes, some are millions of square miles others are just a few acres, watersheds are nearly always part of a larger watershed. My watershed is important to me because we rely on water to survive. Our everyday needs require the use of water, and without watersheds to carry our water we would not survive. Why do we protect our water? So we don’t get any contagious sicknesses, and so we don’t die, and help living things stay alive!
The End!
