A watershed is an area of land that drains to the nearest stream.  The next time it rains, look at where the water runs from your house.  Oftentimes, there's a small creek near you. 

Chandra Brown, Riverkeeper, lives in Metter.  When it rains at her house the water runs into a tributary of 15-mile Creek, which flows into the Canoochee, which then flows into the Ogeechee.  So, she lives in the 15-mile creek watershed, the Canoochee watershed AND the Ogeechee watershed.

You can find your watershed by entering your zip code below.
