How to use "Watercourse" in context?
The word "watercourse" is derived from the Old English term watirwÄÂter, meaning "a watercourse with a bed of water." The Oxford English Dictionary defines a watercourse as "a course of water, generally running through a valley or other low area." The natural features that make up watercourses can vary dramatically, from small streams and creeks to broad rivers and mighty oceans.
Watercourses can be important sources of drinking water, agricultural irrigation, and hydroelectric power. They can also be important recreational destinations, providing scenic beauty, trout fishing, and white-water rafting opportunities.
