Answer:

disposing waste properly is important because watersheds are the surface water features and stormwater runoff within a watershed which ultimately end up in other bodies of water. It is essential to consider these downstream impacts when developing and implementing water quality protection and restoration actions. Everything upstream ends up downstream

Step-by-step explanation:

A watershed describes an area of land that contains a common set of streams and rivers that all drain into a single larger body of water, such as a larger river, a lake or an ocean. For example, the Nile River watershed is an enormous watershed
