A watershed is all the land area that drains into a specific body of surface water such as a river, stream, lake, or ocean.

 

Most of the watersheds in Franklin County have their own watershed group – a group that helps educate people on water quality and stream neighboring practices, as well as assisting local governments and community organizations with best planning practices within that watershed. This is a list of the watershed groups in our county:
