Watersheds cross political borders. For example, the Richland Creek watershed is shared with Alabama, while the Big South Fork watershed is shared with Kentucky. No matter where you live, you have a watershed address. This address is just as important as your mailing address. Your watershed address tells you something about the water in your neighborhood.
Some watersheds have plenty of clean water with many types of fish and mussels in the rivers.
Other watersheds are polluted and lack aquatic life. Watersheds are where our industries set up business, developers establish neighborhoods and our farmers produce food for the dinner table. Watersheds are also where our children play and families go boating and fishing. Healthy watersheds are attractive in siting new businesses and in keeping a local economy healthy. Nobody benefits from a polluted watershed.
