What is a watershed? A watershed is an area of land that takes all water that falls or drains into it, such as rain, snow and ground water, and moves it towards a common outlet, such as a river, basin, or ocean.
Healthy watersheds are essential to the wellbeing of our communities and ecosystems. As our climate continues to change, understanding how watersheds function and remain healthy is more important than ever. The CVRD is committed to watershed protection, and is taking action through the Drinking Water and Watershed Protection Program.
