please give exaples so i can understand it better please -thanksWhat parts of the environment, natural and manmade, make up a watershed? Give examples of each.?
A watershed is any point on a body of water and all areas ';uphill'; from that point so that when it rains, all the water falling upstream flows through that point.
The parts of the environment, natural and manmade, that make up a watershed would be anything that exists within that area where the water drains through to that downstream point - houses, trees, golf courses, acid mine drainage, mountains (at least the side that the water runs off), roads, rocks, dams, etc.
Maybe some illustrations will help:
