First Group Meeting: Lake Champlain Watersheds by Lake Segments.

For our first group meeting, we as a group decided to take a look at the surrounding areas specifically the lakes and streams. We came to conclusion that there is a number of watersheds in the surrounding area that continuously flow into the lake bringing in all good and bad nutrients. This being said that means that all materials that get into these watersheds whether it is from rain, snow, runoff or human dumping will eventually enter Lake Champlain and meet up with all the other materials that have come form the numerous other watersheds. The picture that is attached to the left shows all the water sheds that surround Lake Champlain and where they originally come from whether it be New York or Vermont. The picture has broken down each watershed into its own number so the viewer can get a better idea of the size and location of each of these watersheds.
