	PCI NPCC - Issues - Watersheds
		Watershed partnerships have existed for more than 30 years, and have antecedents dating to the 19th century.
		The colloquium was organized by NPCC Fellow Langdon Marsh whose long involvement as a state environmental leader includes terms as Director of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and Commissioner of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation.
		Watershed Solutions: Collaborative Problem Solving for States and Communities (2003) is the published report of the watershed colloquium.

	Watershed Management
		Watershed modeling involves analysis of environmental impacts of land use changes through simulation of storm water run-off water quality; soil erosion from the land surface; flooding and changes in flow regime; groundwater and surface water interactions and stream habitat quality.
		Watershed modeling allows simulation of point and non-point source pollutant loads; and the fate and transport of pollutants on land and in the water body; both temporally and spatially.
		Watershed modeling results can be used to examine “future conditions” of the watershed in categories such as pollutant loading; flooding of road crossings; stream erosion potential; and hydrology of streams and groundwater.

	County Maps of Water Supply Watersheds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Watersheds for public water systems are important because activities or chemicals applied within them have the potential to impact drinking water quality.
		Watersheds can be large or small, ranging from less than 2 square miles in areas to more than 5000 square miles.
		Watersheds are often nested within other watersheds, since one water system may draw water upstream from another on the same stream or river.

	Watershed Planning and Management, Bureau of Land and Water Quality, Maine Department of Environmental Protection
		A watershed is the geographic area where all water running off the land drains to a given stream, river, lake, wetland or coastal water.
		Watershed planning and management comprise an approach to protecting water quality and quantity that focuses on a whole watershed.
		Watershed planning and management involve a number of activities, including: targeting priority problems in a watershed; promoting a high level of involvement by interested and affected parties; developing solutions to problems through the use of the expertise and authority of multiple agencies and organizations; and measuring success through monitoring and other data gathering.

	Watersheds: Minnesota DNR
		The term watershed or catchment basin refers to the entire physical area or basin drained by a distinct stream or riverine system, physically separated from other watersheds by ridgetop boundaries." (from Entering the Watershed, A New Approach to Save America's River Ecosystems by The Pacific Rivers Council).
		Only by knowing our local watershed and the system of watersheds in which it resides can we begin to understand why and where small changes can have huge impacts on our state's water.
		This means that watersheds are classified by size into several levels and that each watershed of a given level is composed of several watersheds of the next higher level.

	Focus on Watersheds
		The borders of a watershed are called "divides", because they divide the water's flow.
		A watershed is the area of land where all water drains or "sheds" to the same body of water.
		A watershed can be large, for example, the Mississippi River drainage base, or very small, such as the 40 acres that drain to a farm pond.

	UNIFIED WATERSHED ASSESSMENT
		The primary tool used to assess whether watersheds were within the numeric/narrative water quality standards was the list of impaired waters generated under Section 303(d) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (NOTE: In compiling this list, the Technical Workgroup relied upon the April 1, 1998 draft of the State’s 1998 303(d) list).
		This list was prepared with reference to all readily available data, including the information compiled in the development of Maryland’s Water Quality Inventory Report under Section 305(b) of the Act.
		Any watershed that is not on the 303(d) List (Category 1(a)) and meets all or all but one of the Category 1(b) benchmarks was placed in Category 2.
