The Oklawaha Watershed (HUC 03080102) is located in central Florida, covering an area of approximately 2,400 square miles. The watershed is dominated by wetlands, lakes, and rivers, including the Ocklawaha River, which is a major tributary of the St. Johns River. The hydrology of the watershed is characterized by a high water table and frequent flooding, which is vital for maintaining the region's unique ecosystem. The Oklawaha Watershed does not receive snowfall, due to its location in a subtropical climate zone. However, it experiences significant rainfall, with an average annual precipitation of around 50 inches. The surface water in the watershed is highly diverse, with over 600 lakes and ponds, including several large reservoirs, such as Lake Griffin and Lake Harris. These reservoirs are used for drinking water supply, irrigation, and recreation. The water quality in the Oklawaha Watershed has been impacted by human activities, including urbanization, agriculture, and silviculture. However, restoration efforts have been undertaken to improve water quality and preserve the region's natural resources. Climate trends in the area include increasing temperatures and changing precipitation patterns, which may affect the hydrology and ecology of the watershed in the future.
