In 2009, a paper was published suggesting that watersheds provide a geospatial platform for establishing linkages between aquatic contaminants, the health of the environment, and human health. This article is a follow-up to that original article. From an environmental perspective, watersheds segregate landscapes into geospatial units that may be relevant to human health outcomes. From an epidemiologic perspective, the watershed concept places anthropogenic health data into a geospatial framework that has environmental relevance. Research discussed in this article includes information gathered from the literature, as well as recent data collected and analyzed by this research group. It is our contention that the use of watersheds to stratify geospatial information may be both environmentally and epidemiologically valuable.
2009年，一篇论文发表，表明流域为建立水生污染物、环境健康与人类健康之间的联系提供了一个地理空间平台。本文是该原始文章的后续。从环境角度看，流域将景观划分为可能与人类健康结果相关的地理空间单元。从流行病学角度看，流域概念将人为健康数据置于具有环境相关性的地理空间框架中。本文讨论的研究包括从文献中收集的信息，以及该研究小组最近收集和分析的数据。我们认为，利用流域对地理空间信息进行分层在环境和流行病学方面可能都具有价值。
