A water shed is when portion of the water falling on the land seeps into the soil or flows over the surface before entering streams and lakes. The land area that supplies water to a particular river or lake is called a watershed. We (Flower Mound) live in the Trinity water shed. Our community benefits from the enhanced sustainability of our land by an increasing infiltration of rainfall while reducing erosion. It also helps provide for agriculture, human consumption, industry, flood control and recreation when we manage watersheds and the water it produces. This is why our watershed is very important.
