Unless you happen to be standing on a hilltop or swimming in the ocean right now, you are on a watershed. These unsung wonders of topography and hydrology are an important contributor to the rain cycle and yet we humans tend to abuse them.
# Summary
Josh and Chuck dive deep into watersheds, explaining how these interconnected water systems work to channel rainfall downhill into streams, rivers, and eventually larger bodies of water. They explore how water moves through soil, gets absorbed by plants, and can be disrupted by human activities like paving and pollution, while also discussing practical ways listeners can help protect their local watersheds. It's a fascinating look at how seemingly small actions—from leaving antifreeze in your driveway to removing trees near streams—can create a domino effect of environmental damage downstream.
