Watershed Hydrology

The Pond Watershed, also known as HUC 05110006, covers an area of approximately 125 square miles in central Vermont. The hydrology of the area is dominated by the Winooski River, which originates in the Green Mountains and flows through the watershed. Snowpack is a significant component of the hydrology, with winter snow accumulation providing much of the surface water in the spring and summer. The area is also home to several reservoirs, including the Waterbury Reservoir and the Wrightsville Reservoir. The watershed is subject to the impacts of climate change, with increasing temperatures leading to changes in snowpack and precipitation patterns. In recent years, the region has experienced more frequent extreme weather events, including heavy precipitation and flooding. The Pond Watershed is notable for its scenic beauty, including the Green Mountains and the numerous streams and lakes throughout the area. It also supports a wide variety of wildlife, including moose, black bear, and numerous species of birds and fish.
