The Flint Watershed (HUC 04080204) covers approximately 1,228 square miles in southwestern Georgia. The Flint River is the main hydrological feature of the watershed, which is characterized by a humid subtropical climate. The region receives an average of 50 inches of precipitation annually and has a unique snowpack occurrence, with snowfall averaging about once every ten years. Surface water in the watershed is primarily from the Flint River, which flows into Lake Blackshear, a reservoir located in the middle of the watershed. The reservoir is used for power generation, recreation, and water supply for the downstream regions. Interesting climatic facts include increasing temperatures and decreasing precipitation in recent years, leading to drought conditions and increased water demand. Additionally, the Flint River has faced legal disputes between Florida, Georgia, and Alabama over water usage rights, highlighting the importance of managing water resources in the watershed.
