I live in the Elm Fork of the Trinity River watershed and my watershed address is 12030103. Some of the benefits of a watershed include the capturing, storing, and releasing of water, the filtration of sediment, pollutants, and other harmful materials, habitats provided for plants and animals, and sites provided for biogeochemical reactions. Some problems facing our local watershed are domestic and industrial use, swimming, over fishing, endangerment of aquatic organisms, agricultural use, commercial use, pollution, and urbanization.
