A watershed is an area of land where the runoff from rain or snow will ultimately drain to a particular stream, river, wetland or other
body of water. There are nine major watersheds in the St. Louis region which drain into the Mississippi River and the Missouri River. Nested within these watersheds can be found smaller watersheds of
creeks or streams and those segments of land which drain directly into the nine major watersheds. The following sections delineate the watersheds in the St. Louis region, discuss watersheds and
watershed based natural resource planning and describe the actions the general public and local governments can take to improve water quality in their watersheds.
