2)      Click on the ‘Locate Your Watershed’ Link.

 

You will now see a page presenting several ways to browse to a specific USGS/EPA watershed.

 

3)      For this tutorial, we will use the ‘Find Place’ option.  In the field below ‘Find Place,’ type in ‘Deschutes’.  Hit Enter.

 

NOTE:  The Search By Map option works just as well here!

 

4)      You will now see a page with a list of watersheds (given by their HUC Number) that match your search for ‘Deschutes.’  If you know the HUC Number that you are looking for, select it’s link from the list.  For this tutorial, select the first option (HUC 17070301).  This is the HUC for the Deschutes River near Bend, OR.

 

5)      You are now on the page for the specific watershed you have searched for.  Browse the contents of this page.  You can select any of the various links to obtain more information about your watershed.  You can visit upstream or downstream watersheds by selecting “Other watersheds upstream” or “Other watersheds downstream.”
