Ohio's Online Virtual Watershed Tour
What is a watershed? What are the components that make up a watershed? These seem to be simple questions, but many adults and
children in our communities don't know the answers. In this very basic introduction to watersheds prepared by the Ohio State
University's Extension Service, these and other questions are answered in interesting and fun ways.
The Virtual Watershed Tour
is modeled after a float trip along the entire length of an imaginary stream,
from its headwaters all the way to the Ohio River. It requires about 15 minutes viewing time and is suitable for general audiences.
