A watershed is an area of land that channels rain and snowmelt into streams, rivers and oceans. Our lives are deeply intertwined with land and water and all the connections between them. Day-to-day activitieslike brushing our teeth, eating a meal, getting a ride in a car or even using an electronic devicehave consequence for our own or someone else's watershed.

We've also learned how to control waterwhere it goes and how much flows.Upstream, Downstreamexplores the consequences of the pressures people place on watersheds and highlights some of the heroes making a difference for watersheds around world.
