The CERP is a multi-billion-dollar plan approved by the U.S. Congress in 2000 to save the wetlands of the Everglades in southern Florida with only 50% of its natural wetlands remaining. [28] The goal of this plan is to increase freshwater storage, improve water quality, and re-establish the natural water flow.
The trio changed their name to Watershed and began relentlessly touring the eastern USA opening for established regional acts like Dash Rip Rock, Cowboy Mouth, Hootie and The Blowfish etc. Producer Jim Steinman heard a cassette version of "How Do You Feel" and soon after convinced Richard Griffiths to sign the band to Epic Records with Frankie LaRocca acting as A&R.
Watershed management is the study of the relevant characteristics of a watershed aimed at the sustainable distribution of its resources and the process of creating and implementing plans, programs and projects to sustain and enhance watershed functions that affect the plant, animal, and human communities within the watershed boundary.

Watershed delineation is the process of identifying the boundary of a watershed, also referred to as a catchment, drainage basin, or river basin. It is an important step in many areas of environmental science, engineering, and management, for example to study flooding, aquatic habitat, or water pollution.
For example, we should not treat toilet as a trash can. If we flush cigarette butts or tissues in it, we are wasting gallons of water. Because the process of recycling water cannot be accomplished. [55] A concept that is closely related to water wasting is "water-use efficiency".
Restrictions on projects include: the size of the watershed must be 250,000 acres (1011 km²) or less; no single structure may provide more than 12,500 acre-feet (15,400,000 m 3) of flood water retention; no single dam may provide more than 25,000 acre-feet (31,000,000 m 3) of total capacity; and projects with costs greater than $5 million or ...
The Small Watershed Program is a program created under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (P.L. 83–566), and 1 of 3 programs that are combined into the Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations Program. The Small Watershed Program is available in watersheds that are smaller than 250,000 acres (1,000 km 2). Currently, there are ...
A drainage basin's boundaries are determined by watershed delineation, a common task in environmental engineering and science. In a closed drainage basin, or endorheic basin , rather than flowing to the ocean, water converges toward the interior of the basin, known as a sink , which may be a permanent lake, a dry lake , or a point where surface ...
