Watershed Hydrology

The Strawberry Watershed, located in Utah, covers approximately 1,983 square miles and is part of the Upper Colorado River Basin. The watershed is primarily mountainous, with elevations ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 feet. Snowfall is a significant factor in the hydrology of the watershed, with snowpack levels influencing surface water availability during the spring and summer months. The watershed contains several reservoirs, including Strawberry Reservoir, which is used for irrigation, recreation, and municipal water supply. Interesting climatic facts include the watershed's high elevation and proximity to the Wasatch Range, which can lead to extreme winter weather conditions, such as heavy snowfall and avalanches. Additionally, the watershed has experienced a decrease in snow accumulation over the past few decades, likely due to climate change. This trend could have significant impacts on the availability of water resources in the region.
