The Lower Little Watershed (HUC 11140109) covers an area of approximately 151 square miles in northeastern California. The area experiences a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The watershed is predominantly covered by forests and grasslands, and is characterized by its steep terrain and diverse flora and fauna. Hydrologically, the watershed is fed by snowpack from the Sierra Nevada mountains and is home to several small reservoirs that are used for irrigation and domestic water supply. Despite being a relatively small watershed, it plays an important role in providing water to downstream areas. In recent years, there have been concerns about declining snowpack and changing hydrological patterns due to climate change. This has led to increased efforts to monitor and manage water resources in the watershed, including promoting water conservation and improving water storage and distribution infrastructure. Overall, the Lower Little Watershed is an important ecological and hydrological system that is facing increasing pressure due to climate change and human activity, highlighting the need for sustainable and adaptive management practices.
