This study guide covers watersheds, including their definition, components like headwaters and sub-watersheds, key characteristics (size, length, slope, soil type, vegetation), and how these characteristics impact water flow and quality. It also emphasizes the effects of human activities (deforestation, urbanization, pollution) on watersheds and provides practice questions covering multiple-choice and free-response formats. Key exam tips for time management and avoiding common pitfalls are also included.
