The Pere Marquette White Watershed (HUC 04060101) covers approximately 1,418 square miles in Michigan. It includes the Pere Marquette River and its tributaries, which are primarily forested and support a variety of fish species. Hydrologically, the watershed is characterized by a mix of groundwater and surface water sources. Specific snowpack information is not readily available. Surface water quality is generally good, but there are concerns about bacterial contamination from agricultural and urban runoff. The watershed includes several reservoirs, including the Hardy Dam and the Croton Dam, which provide hydroelectric power and recreational opportunities. Interesting climatic facts include the fact that the Pere Marquette River is known for its excellent steelhead trout fishing, which is largely dependent on cold water temperatures. Climate trends in the region include increasing temperatures and changing precipitation patterns, which could impact the hydrology and ecology of the watershed.
