Watershed is an area of land where water drains under it and over the surface of it all flows to a single point. Example, rains falls on the landscape and when it falls on ridge, it goes one way it is in one watershed, if it goes the other way it erodes the weak rock and dirt and all the water collects following gravity and digs out channels called river.

A watershed is an area of land where all the water flows to a central point, like a lake, river, or stream. It's defined by its boundaries, which are usually the highest hills or ridges that separate one watershed from another. Watersheds can be small or very large, covering thousands of miles.

Hello everyone! My name is Nor Yazni Shafiqah binti Mat Yaziz. (Biodiversity Conservation and Management).

From my understanding, a watershed is the land area where all water, from rain and other sources, flows downhill and drain or collected into a single outlet, such as a river, lake, or ocean.

Watershed is area of land that was all water (rain, streams, and rivers) flows into the main waterways like a lake , river or ocean. It functions as a natural watercourse that directs water to low-lying areas of river and other drainage systems.

A watershed is an area of land where all the water from rain, rivers, and streams flows to the same place, like a lake, river, or ocean. It resembles a large bowl that gathers and channels water to a central point.

Watershed refers to the water that go into the river, lake, ocean or other waterbody from the water at the land area. The water from land area flows in one way towards the waterbody and also underground.

from my understanding, watershed refers to the place where water would be collected when rain occurs and the water would flow toward any body of water for example the water flow into the river and goes towards the sea eventually.

Hello,my name is Nursyakira binti Mailan,from marine biology student.

In my opinion, watershed is land area that water falling and drain in it such as stream or lakes. This is very values to our biodiversity because it keep water quality in a good condition,and our life too.

Watershed is any portion of the earth’s surface within a physical boundary that defined by topographic sloped that divert all runoff to the same drainage outlet. Watersheds also can be classified based on size, mean slope, length and land use.

Assalamualaikum/ hello ! Im Nadzeera and a marine science student.

Watershed is like an area of the land where it drains all the rainfall to a common outlet such as any point along a stream channel. Its essentially a drainage basin that collects water and channels it to specific body of water. Watershed can vary in a size from small streams to large river systems.

Hello, My name is Nik Syaidatul Nazihah Binti Nik Azahar. I am from course Biodiversity Conservation and Management. Watershed is a region where all water flows towards a single outlet, like a river, lake, or ocean, whether from runoff, precipitation, or snowmelt. By acting as a natural drainage system and directing water through interconnected streams and rivers, this region is essential to maintaining regional ecosystems and influencing the management of water resources.

Hello! farah adina (S70758), marine biology student here.

For me, watershed can be define as an area of land where all the water from all sources including rainfall, streams flows to a single point or to a common water body like river, lake and ocean. It flows from a higher elevation area to lower ones eroding the weak sediment and rocks, collecting them into the streams and rivers following the gravitational force.

Hello! I'm Urronisha. You may address me as Urro. I'm studying Environmental And Analytical Chemistry (KAP).

Watershed is a land area or region that directs all the falling water to one place, which can be any of the river, lake, or ocean.

1. Geographical Features

Topography:

The Semenyih Watershed is characterized by hilly terrain and valleys, which influence water flow and drainage patterns. This topography affects how rainwater is collected and directed towards rivers.

Watershed primarily flows from the surrounding highlands in the state of Selangor, Malaysia into the Semenyih River, which is a tributary of the Langat River.

.

2. Hydrological Cycle

Rainfall and Runoff:

The watershed experiences seasonal rainfall, which contributes to surface runoff. This runoff is crucial for replenishing local rivers and groundwater.

.

Water Retention:

The natural landscape helps retain water, reducing flooding risks and maintaining base flow in rivers during dry seasons.

Geological Influence

The geological influence at the Semenyih watershed includes diverse rock formations(features sedimentary rocks) and soil types that affect water flow, quality, and ecosystem health.

3. Land Use Impact

Agricultural Practices:

Fertilizers and pesticides can runoff into water bodies, affecting aquatic ecosystems.

.

Urban Development:

Urbanization leads to increased impervious surfaces, which can enhance runoff and reduce groundwater recharge.

4. Water Quality Concerns

Pollution Sources:

The watershed faces challenges from pollution due to agricultural runoff, industrial discharges, and domestic waste. Monitoring water quality is essential for ensuring safe drinking water.

Ecosystem Health:

Maintaining water quality is vital for the health of aquatic ecosystems, which provide habitat for various species.

.

5. Biodiversity

Flora and Fauna:

The Semenyih Watershed supports diverse plant and animal species. Forested areas provide habitats, while river systems support aquatic life.

.

Conservation Areas:

Certain regions within the watershed are designated as conservation areas to protect biodiversity and ecosystem services.

7. Climate Change Impact

Altered Rainfall Patterns:

Climate change is expected to alter rainfall patterns, affecting water availability and increasing the risk of floods and droughts.

A watershed is a region of land that collects rainfall, ice melts, and all water channels and then directs the water into a common water body, such as a lake, river, ocean, or other water bodies, through a drainage system. Additionally, watersheds can vary in size.

A watershed is area of land where all water flow into same river, lake, sea or ocean. For example, rain water flow from up of the hill into the closest river and accumulate at there.
