An drawn image supplied by the United States Geological Survey showing the cross section of a river with instrumentation in it blowing bubbles and a little hut, the gage house, next to the river with instrumentation inside and an antenna on top.
A drawn diagram of a three dimensional landscape. It starts in the mountains, labeled “Headwaters (source)” in the “Source Zone”. It moves to a lower mountainous region labeled “transition zone” and it ends in flat area that looks agricultural with a river delta labeled “Floodplain Zone”. There is an arrow pointing from the mountains to the delta with the label “Water, soil, and nutrients move down.” (Adapted from a resource kit released by the HI-AWARE Consortium.

A drawing of a watershed. A three dimensional landmass with mountains in the background and a lake or pond in the foreground, with rivers and streams (marked as "tributaries") connecting them. There is rain falling from the clouds marked "precipitation". There are markings for "percolation" in the front of the image, along with "groundwater" and "aquifer".
