The book is an informative piece explaining the concept of a watershed, in a way that is easily understood by young children. How water enters and interacts within it, and the various ways people utilize and impact the watersheds. It begins by defining a watershed as a land area that collects and channels all surface and ground water to a common outlet. The process of water entering the watershed is described through a three-stage cycle: precipitation, evaporation and condensation. The text highlights the importance of watersheds is agriculture, oxygen production, water recycling, recreation, habitat provision and water storage. It also delves into the structure and function of aquifers, emphasizing their role in storing freshwater.
