The Middle Flint Watershed, located in central Georgia, covers an area of approximately 7,200 square miles. The watershed is characterized by a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. The hydrology of the area is dominated by the Flint River, which flows for over 200 miles through the watershed. The snowpack in this region is generally low, with occasional snowfall during the winter months. Surface water in the watershed is important for both agricultural and urban uses, with several large reservoirs providing drinking water and irrigation supplies. The water quality of these reservoirs is impacted by constituents such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment. Interesting climatic facts include the occurrence of severe droughts in the area, such as the historic drought of 2011-2012. In recent years, the region has also experienced an increase in extreme weather events, including heavy rainfall and flooding. These trends highlight the importance of sustainable water management practices in the Middle Flint Watershed.
