WHAT IS A WATERSHED?
A watershed is the area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off of it goes into the same place.
John Wesley Powell, scientist geographer, put it best when he said that a watershed is: "that area of land, a bounded hydrologic system, within which all living things are inextricably linked by their common water."
The Topanga Creek Watershed is bounded by ridge tops in Topanga State Park, on the the Summit-to-Summit and Calabasas Peak Motorways, along Saddlepeak Rd, and above Tuna Canyon, and ends where Topanga Creek flows into the Pacific Ocean.
