-Oh!
That's not good.

All this pressure to take over

I've never seen the boss

-Me, too, Buzzy.

They always make me feel good.
-Hmm. I think maybe
he just needs "boss time."
You know, time to unwind,
relax, and de-stress.
-But...how?
Mount Bear Fresh Water Spa?
-It says here
it has a whole bunch
of relaxing water treatments --
hydrotherapy, waterfall
wind-down, soothing whirlpools,
all with freshwater

-Well, this changes things.
We have to help Jules.
-I don't get it. How does
a water spa run out of water?
-I wish I knew.
All I know right now
is the water comes from there,
Mount Bear River.
-Um...
is the river usually that low?
I mean, you can see the pipes.
-I know.
There's usually about four times
more water than that.
-Huh. That means there's about
one-fourth of the water
that's supposed to be there.
That's bad. Right?
-Yeah, that's bad.
-So where did all
the river water go?
-Maybe if we knew
where it came from,
we'd have a better idea.
-Well, I can help with that.
The river starts
way North of here,
up at the peak of Mount Bear.
The water flows down
the mountain,
all the way here to the spa.
-The peak of Mount Bear --
Sounds like a good place to
start looking for the problem.
-Whoa!
That's a long way up.
How do you even get there?
-The Mount Bear lift, of course.
-Wow!

Mount Bear River starts up here.
[ Bird calls ]
-Check it out.
All these creeks and streams
are flowing into each other
to create Mount Bear River.
-Yep, that's the way it works.
All this land around the water
is called a watershed.
-A water what?
-A watershed.
It's kind of like a funnel.
It's the land that helps water
from rain and melted snow
drain into one place,
like a river.
My teacher Ms. Simmons
told us all about them.
She's really cool.
-So if all the water
is flowing into the river

it's gotta be somewhere

-The water seems to be
flowing fine here.
-And it seems to be at the right
level, unlike at the spa.
-And the plants and grass
all look green and healthy,

-I even see some fishies.
Hey, fishies.
Okay, then, we don't
see a problem here
at the top of the mountain.
That's what this smiley face
is for.
But we think the problem
is somewhere
between here and the spa,
where things are not so good.
-Maybe to find the problem
with the river,
we need to be on the river.

[ All screaming ]
I don't think that was a clue.

Look where all this water
is going!
-Wow. The river spread
into the floodplain.
-Floodplain?
-It's the land next to a river
that holds the extra water
when rivers overflow.
-I don't get it.
Down near the spa,
there's hardly any water,
but up here,
there's too much water.
-How is that possible?
-Don't know yet.
Inez, how much further
to the spa?
-Map break!
-Hmm.
I'm not sure where we are.
-Anything on the map
about a big boulder
shaped like a dog
or a gorilla?
-Oh, yes!
Big Bear Boulder!
That puts us right here,
near the bottom
of Bear Mountain,
getting closer to the spa.
-That marker says the river
is supposed to be
six cyberfeet deep here.
-Hmm.
Looks deeper than that to me.
-Well, let's see how deep
it really is, shall we?
It's eight cyberfeet deep here.
-That's two cyberfeet deeper
than the sign says.
-Yes, I knew it!
-Good observation, Buzz.
So the water level
is higher than normal
but not too much higher.
That calls for another face.

-And I'm running out of ways
to keep them happy.

and we haven't found
the problem yet!
-And it doesn't sound like
Jules can hold out much longer!

-According to that,
the water's supposed to be
seven cyberfeet deep here.
-Depth check coming up!
The water here
is cyberfeet deep, not !
-Wow!
So, what do we know?
Whoa!
Jax, don't pace.
-Ooh! Oh, yeah.
Right.
So, up the river,
the water was supposed to be
six cyberfeet deep,
and it was actually eight.
Here, it's supposed to be
cyberfeet deep, and it's !
What does that tell us?
-The flooding is even worse here
than up there!
-That it is, Buzz.
-Not good. Not good at all.
This spot gets a sad face.
-The question is, why is
the flooding getting worse
the farther down
the river we go?
-And how is that even possible
when there's almost no water
near the spa?
-We could find out soon.
We're coming up on a place
called -- ah! -- Beartown.
-I wonder what we'll find there.
-Maybe the key
to solving this mystery!
-Wow! The water's
all the way up to the dock.
-It's starting to look like
the whole Mount Bear watershed
is in trouble.
-Yeah, there's too much water
for so many of the plants
and animals up the river...
-And barely enough for
all the plants and animals
down the river by the spa.
-And don't forget the boss!
He doesn't have any water,
either.
I mean, uh,
no one at the spa does.
-[ Snoring ]
-"And the bunny hopped
and hopped and hopped and"...
-Huh.
Looks like everyone in Beartown
is getting ready
for a big flood.
-Looks like
they already had one.
-Huh.
I wonder
if there's something wrong
with these storm drains.
Water's supposed to go down in
to them, not form a puddle.
-Excuse me.
Did it just rain here?
-Nope. Water in the streets
is nothing new here.
Oh, it goes away eventually.
-Yeah, it's gotten
a lot worse recently.
Right, Jo-Jo?
-Sometimes the flooding
is so bad,
school is canceled and
the playground goes underwater.
Another bottle!

Oh, missed it!
-Not to worry.
It'll just wash away
with everything else.
-Everything else?
-Uh, do you know where
all the water and litter
that goes down these drains
ends up?
-Hmm. I recall one time
seeing where it all went.
-I know! All the water
from these little drains
goes to the big drain.
-Can you show us
where the big drain is?
-Sure! Come on!

and hopped and hopped and hopped

-Hey, Boss! Wait for me!
-There's the big drain.
-Whoa!
-And there's a big dam!
-[ Gasps ]
-It's totally made
out of trash --
plastic bags, bottles,
and some branches and rocks!
-I can't believe it.
All this litter came down
through the storm drains in town
and emptied out here,
making this dam.
-And it backed up
all those storm drains in town.
-There's that bottle you missed!
-Gee, I had no idea
it was this bad.
-That's the problem.
All that trash is stopping
the water from flowing.
-Now I see what happened.
The dam at Beartown
stopped the water in the river
from going South,
toward the spa,
so the water backed up and
flooded the watershed up North.
Double sad.
-This mess has caused a problem
for the river, the watershed,
and every animal
and plant around.
-Not to mention
everyone who lives here.
-We need to clear away the dam
so the river can flow again.

should go down, too.

came to visit.
-I'm so excited to go swimming!
-I'm excited, too!
I think it's so cool
that we share the lake
with other animals.
-What kind of animals?
-Well, fish, of course.
And also ducks, turtles, herons.
It's so much fun
to watch them swim and fly.
Oh, no!
-What "oh, no"?
-The lake water
has turned green.
-You're right.
-[ Sighs ]
This makes me mad,
because my grandma and I
and other people
who use the lake
are careful to keep it clean.
But sometimes the fertilizer
that people use
to make grass grow
flows into the lake.
And that causes the blue-green
algae to grow really fast.
-Algae?
You mean like the stuff
that turns fish tanks cloudy?
-Right. Algae are living things,
like plants.
Blue-green algae blooms happen
when it's really hot and rainy.
But when you see them
in the lake,
it means it's not safe.
So, we can't go swimming.
It's a problem that can spread
to other lakes
along the watershed.
-What's the watershed?
-The watershed connects
this lake
to creeks, brooks, a river,
and the ocean.
I'll show you.
When it rains,
the water flows down
nearby hills and into the creek.
Then the creek
flows into the lake.
-I see.
-Here's where we are, where
the creek flows into the lake.
At the other end,
the water spills over the dam
and flows into the brook.
-Can we see that?
-Sure!
-Wow!
-From the brook, the water
flows into another creek
and then into a river
and, eventually, the ocean!
The land surrounding
these bodies of water
is part of the watershed, too.
-So, algae in the lake
means no swimming?
-Yeah. I'm sorry.
I know you're disappointed.
But there's something else
we could do that's fun.
Down the block,
there's a tennis court.
-That's a great idea!
Courtney, it doesn't
really matter what we do.
Everything we do together
is fun.
