Now let's put this all together.
- A watershed is an area of land that drains and carries water toward the ocean.
- The Hudson River watershed flows into the bay and ocean, creating a plume.
- This plume of water is full of fresh warm water that moves along the surface of the bay and ocean.
- The Hudson River plume also carries many different pollutants within it that were added throughout the watershed.
- These pollutants can cause damage to the ocean environment.
So, now that you've learned about the Hudson River Watershed, can you answer our original question?
