The Lower White Watershed (HUC 10140204) covers an area of approximately 1,575 square miles in northwest Arkansas. The hydrology of the area is primarily influenced by the White River, which flows through the watershed and into the Mississippi River. The watershed receives an annual precipitation of around 50 inches, with snowfall being relatively uncommon. Surface water in the watershed is mainly used for agricultural purposes, providing irrigation for crops. The largest reservoir in the watershed is Beaver Lake, which was created in the 1960s to control flooding and generate hydroelectric power. Interesting climatic facts include the occasional occurrence of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes during the spring and summer months. In recent years, the area has experienced increased flooding due to heavier rainfall patterns. Overall, the Lower White Watershed is a vital resource for agriculture and energy production in the region.
