Springfield Area Watersheds
The area of land that drains
to a waterway such as a river or lake is its watershed. Each
watershed is part of a bigger watershed. The Springfield area
is made up of many small watersheds. These small watersheds
drain into one of two larger watersheds - the James River
or the Sac River. Some portions of the Springfield area are
not part of a smaller watershed, but drain directly into the
James River or the Sac River. These two watersheds are each
part of different, larger watersheds that eventually drain
to the Gulf of Mexico.
Storm
water pollution prevention not only makes a difference
locally, but downstream as well. Find out where runoff from
your home ends up by figuring out your watershed address.
