Fishing

Watershed Hydrology

The fishing watershed (HUC 03020102) spans an area of approximately 1,962 square miles in eastern California and western Nevada. The region is characterized by a semi-arid climate, with precipitation mainly occurring during the winter months in the form of snow. Snowpack plays a critical role in the hydrology of the watershed, serving as a primary source of surface water for local rivers and streams during the dry season. The region is also home to several reservoirs that play an important role in water management and irrigation. Interesting climatic facts include the region's susceptibility to drought, which has become increasingly frequent in recent years due to rising temperatures and reduced snowpack. In addition, climate change is expected to have a significant impact on the region's hydrology, potentially altering snowpack levels and leading to more frequent and severe droughts.
