Rock Creek Watershed

What is a Watershed?

 

A watershed is an area of land that channels water, such as rain or snow, into a body of water like a lake, river or stream. Broadly speaking, watersheds are the land that collect, store, and transport water. A watershed can be small, such as an individual lake, or relatively huge, and include hundreds of thousands of square miles.

Check for water leaks

Check for leaks around your home

  • Leaks are the worst water wasters in your home. Water that leaks does not get used for any beneficial purpose, yet it was treated to be safe to drink.
  • Check every faucet, toilet, showerhead, connector, and hose bib around the house for leaks. Even a slow drip can use 15 to 20 gallons of water a day. Larger leaks and running toilets can use up to 100 gallons of water per day or more.
