People who live upstream in a watershed might want to be careful with the
water there because
A) they might affect the amount of precipitation
B) there is a high risk for flooding where they live
C) their actions affect those who are downstream
D) all the water flows through the streams near them
Since they are upstream the water will pass by them first, anything they do (such as using fertilizer on crops) could affect the water as it flows to those downstream.
