The purpose of the assignment is for you to become familiar with some of the drainage basins east of the Appalachians.
Rivers are important parts of the human landscape.
We use them for transport, water supply, industry, recreation, as well as many other things. Many times these uses come into conflict. It is important for citizens to understand the conflicts affecting their local environment and become familiar with the watershed they live in. I have provided some useful links below for you to explore. These links can take you to sites that will give you information on rivers and watersheds in the different states.
