The Cacapon Town watershed (HUC 02070003) covers an area of approximately 53 square miles in West Virginia. The watershed is characterized by steep topography and high rainfall, resulting in significant hydrological activity. The area is also prone to severe snowpack accumulation during winter months, which can lead to flooding during snowmelt. Surface water in the watershed is primarily supplied by the Cacapon River, which is a major tributary of the Potomac River. The reservoir constituents in the watershed include sediment, nutrients, and organic matter, which contribute to water quality degradation. Interesting climatic facts and trends in the area include a steady increase in average annual temperature over the last century, with a corresponding decrease in annual snowfall. Additionally, the watershed has experienced more frequent and severe droughts, which can have significant impacts on water availability and quality.
