Middle Snake-Succor

Watershed Hydrology

The Middle Snake Succor Watershed (HUC 17050103) covers approximately 1,219 square miles in southwestern Idaho and eastern Oregon. The area is characterized by a semi-arid climate with low precipitation levels and high evapotranspiration rates. The watershed is primarily fed by snowmelt, and specific snowpack levels can vary greatly depending on the winter weather patterns. The surface water in the watershed is primarily used for irrigation and livestock watering. There are several small reservoirs within the watershed that are used for water storage and management. The climatic trends in the area have shown a decrease in snowpack levels and an increase in temperatures, leading to concerns about water availability and drought conditions. Additionally, the area has experienced an increase in wildfire activity, which can have significant impacts on the watershed's hydrology and water quality.
