		A watershed is a region of land where water drains downhill into a specified body of water, such as a river, lake, sea, ocean or wetland.
		In the Thiessen polygon method, the watershed is divided into polygons with the rain gauge in the middle of each polygon assumed to be representative for the rainfall on the area of land included in its polygon.
		The Caribbean Sea watershed consists of all of the American interior (the Louisiana Purchase, the western Mississippi River watershed; as well as the eastern half such as the Ohio River and its tributaries); eastern Central America; and far northern South America.

	European Watershed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The European Watershed is the line which divides the drainage basins of the major rivers of Germany; the Rhine river, which originates in the European Alps and empties into the North Sea via Holland, and the Danube River, which originates in the Black Forest and flows eastward emptying into the Black Sea.
		The European Watershead is not a clearly defined divide, however, since the Rhine's level is much lower than the Danube's, and subsurface rivers carry much water from the Danube watershed to the Rhine watershed.
		Since this enormous amount of underground water erodes much of its surrounding limestone, it is estimated that the Danube upper course will one day disappear entirely in favor of the Rhine, an event called "stream capturing".

	History
		The watershed today is known to be a degraded urban ecosystem but was once heralded as a thriving natural and commerical resource in it's earlier history.
		The watershed has undergone many changes through the years, mainly due to the influence of urbanization on the ecosystem.
		The Anacostia watershed was a thriving center of Indian culture set amidst the Piedmont and Coastal Plain provinces in the early 17th century, the time of European contact.

	About our watershed
		A watershed encompasses the area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off of it from the land goes into a particular body of water.
		The watershed is bordered by the West Branch of the Susquehanna on the north, the Susquehanna River on the east, the Potomac River to the south and the Ohio River to the west.
		The western boundary of the watershed (its headwaters) is the Allegheny Front, which separates rivers that flow eastward towards the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay from the rivers that flow westward towards the Ohio River and eventually the Mississippi (USACOE, 1995a).

	GWMG: Grand River - land use and settlement
		Early watershed residents relied on the river as a source of drinking water, transportation, and power, and a means for disposal of wastes.
		While the watershed is considered urban, most of the population lives on a small percentage of the land, while the rest of the watershed is largely rural in nature.
		The central part of the watershed is the most densely populated, with the urban cities of Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph accounting for the majority of the residents.

	GWMG: Maitland Valley - Land use and settlement
		The first European settlers of the Maitland watershed were principally English, Irish, and Scottish, with fewer of immigrants of German and French decent [3].
		The Maitland watershed is located in an area of moderate (40 to 80 animal units per 100 hectares) to high (80 to 120 animal units per 100 hectares) livestock density [10].
		Moderate concentrations are found closer to Lake Huron, in the western portion of the watershed, with higher concentrations in the eastern portions (Perth and Wellington counties) [10].

	Unasylva - No. 88 - Impact of forest land use on floods
		Valid data from large watersheds is rare, due mainly to difficulties in the measurement of independent variables, and to the heterogeneous nature of soils, vegetation and land use.
		A statistical (multiple regression) analysis of peak flows from 54 watersheds, ranging in area from 5.7 to 7,280 square miles (14.7 to 18,850 square kilometers), indicated that clear-felling one square mile of forest could be expected to increase flood peaks by 100 ft³/sec/mi² (1.1 m³/sec/km²) (Anderson, 1958).
		While European land and water authorities have for many years recognized the importance of upper catchment management in flood control, much of the available literature on the subject merely gives an account of the measures adopted without relating these measures to results achieved.

		For the emergence of a European defense industry is also one of the preconditions of the EU's competitive autonomy.
		Confronted with emerging crises and faced with the need to proceed from military to civil engagement, we must have units that are able to act across the entire spectrum of crisis management, from the initial phase to the phase of disengagement, by facilitating the handoff of responsabilities to a civilian authority.
		The European Union is equal to the task of repsonding to crisis situations and must, from now on, address its relationship with NATO without a sense of inferiority.

	CBF Land Use
		Before European settlers began to arrive here some 400 years ago, the lands of the Chesapeake Bay watershed were largely in a natural state.
		Today, with over 15 million residents in the watershed, there are greater stresses and less filtering capacity in the ecosystem we call home.
		To best understand how we can maintain the health of the Bay and its watershed, there are two fundamental aspects of the environment to explore – the naturalecology and the sources and effect of pollutants.

		The 1994 estimated human population of the watershed was 34,679 based on U.S. Bureau of Census and Rand McNally data for each county and various communities.
		In 1992 approximately 51% of the watershed was used for cropland.
		Portions of the watershed impounded by LOZ are listed as navigable waters of the United States pursuant to Section 10 of the Clean Water Act, while all other streams are regulated under Section 404.

	Danube River
		It is the only major European river to flow from west to east.
		Since the Rhine as the only river rising in the Alps mountains flows north towards the North Sea, an invisible line divides large parts of southern Germany, which is sometimes referred to as the European Watershed[?].
		The European Water Divide thus in fact only for those waters that pass beyond this point, and only during the days of the year where the Danube carries enough water in the first place.

		The Anacostia watershed remains a largely degraded urban ecosystem located in suburban Maryland and the District of Columbia.
		In 1608, English Captain John Smith first surveyed the river, opening the watershed to European settlement and initiating changes in land use that have dramatically altered the watershed.
		Formal cooperation between government agencies came with the signing of the 1987 Anacostia Watershed Restoration Agreement and the establishment of the Anacostia Watershed Restoration Committee (AWRC) to oversee the restoration.

		This is the sentiment that emerged at a weekend meeting in Berlin among representatives of American Jewry's central umbrella organization and Jewish leaders from 18 European countries.
		European Jews must revamp their institutions, forge stronger links, coordinate policy and set common political agendas in order to become a significant force in world Jewish affairs, participants said.
		In addition to recognizing the potential for strengthening European Jewry's voice, the meetings reflect the growing importance of the European Union as a geopolitical and economic power.

		The second section looks at the Watershed’s prehistory and the lives of the Konkow and Yahi as discussed in a study of the cultural resources of Bidwell Park prepared for the City of Chico, a participating partner in the Big Chico Creek Watershed Alliance.
		The first European settlers in the Chico area observed that the resident Native American village populations followed a common lifestyle and spoke a fairly uniform dialect.
		One area of the Watershed, the Mud Creek Canyon Archaeological District, is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places (U.S. Department of the Interior, 1996, p12), and a 1996 study concluded that sites within Bidwell Park should also be nominated for the Register (Jensen and Jones and Stokes, 1996, p35).

	What will happen to Democracy in the European Union? (23 March 2004)
		The Treaty on the European Union of 1992, the Maastricht Treaty, stated in one of the central articles that all members’ system of governance are founded on the principle of democracy and that the Union respects all fundamental human rights.
		In the proposed new European Convention it is stated in article 2 that the Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, liberty, democracy, equality, the rule of law and the respect for human rights.
		The European leaders who are meeting in Brussels this week would do well to unite not only on the fight against terrorism but also by adding such a simple but very significant sentence to the proposed text of the Convention.

		Since the Roman Catholic Church was the major functioning administrative unit during the medieval period, it is not surprising that religious and spiritual concerns tended to dominate the age.
		When the year 1000 passed and the world didn't end, nor did it in 1001 or 1002, it was rather as though Christendom let out its breath in a great collective sigh of relief.

		Their puzzlement was born both of intellectual curi- osity and of a need to establish the relationship between the Native American and the events of Biblical history, among them, the wanderings of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.
		And, as Europeans expanded into the interior and encountered resistance, the Native Americans were viewed as troublemakers and villains, the enemy of a remote, ever-changing frontier.
		While it is, of course, ridiculous to blame twentieth-century Americans for the sins of their European ancestors, Native Americans are quite justified in being incensed by the historical myopia and narrow cultural perspectives that beset current interpretations of the Day of Discovery, as well as the centuries that followed.

		A diverse and complex geological formation, diverse terrain, a position in the main European watershed, a permeation of oceanic and continental climatic influences - have all contributed to the formation of diverse types of countryside in the relatively small dimensions of the country.
		Hydrographically, the Czech Republic is located upon the main European watershed, thus it is an area of spring flows of rivers which carry water to the North, Baltic and Black seas.
		For citizens of European countries (excluding Albania, Cypruss and Turkey), USA, Costa Rica, Malaysia, Ecuador and the Seychelles, a valid passport is sufficient for entry into the Czech Republic.
