Water and Land Health 101: Thinking Like a Watershed

Описание: This session was held at the 2019 Wisconsin Lakes Partnership Convention and Water Action Volunteers Symposium.
Session Description:
It’s often said that a waterbody’s health reflects the condition of its watershed. This session will cover the fundamental concepts underlying this important relationship between the land and the water. We’ll discuss the basics of what watersheds are, how we measure their condition, and how watershed activities influence the health of lakes and surrounding streams. You’ll learn why it is so important for lake advocates to take an interest in promoting healthy watersheds. We will also share some of the most prominent tools you can use to engage partners in your watershed to both protect and restore the landscapes that shape lakes and rivers.
