Environmental risks assessment is a process to collect, organize, analyze and present scientific information to improve decision-making. When applied in a watershed context, risk assessment methods can help bring scientific data into environmental decisions. The watershed, a hydrologically bounded ecosystem, is a logical unit for environmental management. A watershed management approach helps environmental managers focus on the highest priority problems affecting surface water. Sources of pollution by discharging wastewater into water streams are the main reason of risks for watersheds. This article introduces watershed environmental risk assessment by the characterization and quantification point and non point sources of pollution in watershed.
