The Chesapeake Bay receives water from the 64,000 square miles of land surrounding the bay and Landsat satellites are a critical and invaluable tool for characterizing the landscape and mapping it over time. Landsat data provides a baseline of observ...ations for science about how human activities on the land affect water quality, affect wildlife habitat, affect air quality. Without it we wouldn't be able to really understand how sources of nutrients and sediment have changed and where they are in the Chesapeake Bay. (04:27)

From the mountains to the coast, this series focuses on the water system known as the Connecticut River, one of 10 designated American Heritage Rivers. Filmed in the ecosystem and supported by The Connecticut River Education Initiative. Water. About ...three feet of it falls as rain and snow in this part of New England every year. In cities and other developed areas, much of it runs off rapidly, down into catch basins and storm drains, where it races through pipes and discharges into our rivers. In forested areas, it's a different story. Just where this rainwater flows depends on topography. With its hills and valleys, the earth is divided into watersheds or river basins, each one isolated from the next.
