Reading

 The concept of a watershed is basic to all hydrologic designs. Since large watersheds are made up of many smaller watersheds, it is necessary to define the watershed in terms of a point. This point is usually the location at which the design is being made and is referred to as the watershed “outlet”. With respect to the outlet, the watershed consists of all land area that “sheds” water to the outlet during a rainstorm. Using the concept that “water runs downhill”, a watershed is defined by all points enclosed within an area from which rain falling at these points will contribute water to the outlet.

 

Verse

Reverence

Reverence runs across religions

and even outside them throughout the fabric

of any community, however secular.

We may be divided from one another by our beliefs,

but never by reverence.

If you desire peace in the world, do not

pray that everyone share your beliefs.

Pray instead that all may be reverent.

 

~Paul Woodruff
