Forests play a crucial role in protecting creeks, rivers, and lakes. However, the reasons behind this are not commonly known. This presentation will delve into the connections between forests and water quality. We will examine how trees function as stormwater management machines, define how watersheds help land managers measure the water quality benefits of forest buffers, explore the influence of woodlands on the water cycle, including groundwater, and observe how cities are increasingly planting trees and other vegetation to help alleviate their growing stormwater management issues.
