Wetlands Supplement: Incorporating Wetlands into Watershed Planning

---

A watershed is the area of land that contributes runoff to or drains to a lake, river, stream, wetland,
estuary or bay. Wetlands are the link between land and water. They are transition zones where the flow of water, the cycling of nutrients, and the energy of the sun meet to produce a unique ecosystem characterized by hydrology, soils, and vegetation, making these areas very important features of a watershed.

A watershed approach is an analytical process that considers the abundance, locations, and conditions of aquatic resources in a watershed. It further considers how those attributes support landscape functions and
attainment of watershed goals (Sumner 2004). Rather than identifying and protecting individual water resources, a watershed approach involves developing a framework for management of an area defined by drainage rather than political or land ownership boundaries.

Watershed plans are analytic frameworks for protecting and restoring water quality and quantity for various societal purposes. Ideally, they result from implementation of the watershed approach. Plans may focus on watersheds within political or land ownership boundaries for strategic or practical purposes.
