  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water Mulch the Base of Trees and Plants
    Where are your nearest natural bodies of water? How might they be affected by runoff?

    Gavin Bent's avatar
    Gavin Bent 10/10/2019 7:35 AM
    The nearest to me is the Rio Grande river. It could be effected by runoff because if there isn't enough runoff it won't flow.
