What Is The Size Of A Typical Watershed?

Answer»

The size of a watershed varies as PER the topography of the land. Smaller watersheds drain into streams and just as several streams FORM a river, several small watersheds group to form a larger watersheds or river basins with their own defined ridgeline.

For an irrigation-cum-hydel project, the size MAY be several thousands of square KILOMETERS but for a FARM pond it could be just a few hectares.
