Abstract from DBPedia
    Watershed management is the study of the relevant characteristics of a watershed aimed at the sustainable distribution of its resources and the process of creating and implementing plans, programs and projects to sustain and enhance watershed functions that affect the plant, animal, and human communities within the watershed boundary. Features of a watershed that agencies seek to manage to include water supply, water quality, drainage, stormwater runoff, water rights and the overall planning and utilization of watersheds. Landowners, land use agencies, stormwater management experts, environmental specialists, water use surveyors and communities all play an integral part in watershed management.

    流域圏(りゅういきけん)とは、「(河川の)流域および関連する水利用地域や氾濫原」で示される一定の範囲の地域(圏域)であって、水質保全、治山・治水対策、土砂管理や、森林、農用地等の管理などの、地域が共有する問題について、地域が共同して取り組む際の枠組みとして形成される圏域(「21世紀の国土のグランドデザイン」(第五次全国総合開発計画、以下:五全総)による)。ただし、第三次全国総合開発計画(同様に、以下:三全総)における流域圏とは、概念が異なると明記してある。
