Watershed Hydrology

The Waccasassa Watershed (HUC 03110101) covers an area of approximately 601,000 acres in Florida. The hydrology of the area is characterized by a complex network of streams and wetlands, which provide habitat for various plant and animal species. The watershed is not known for snowpack, as Florida has a subtropical climate. The surface water in the area is primarily supplied by rainfall, and is used for irrigation, recreation, and drinking water. The reservoir constituents in the area include limestone, sand, and clay. Interesting climatic facts and trends in the region include the potential for severe thunderstorms, hurricanes, and flooding events. Climate change models predict that the area may experience increased temperatures, more frequent and intense storms, and rising sea levels in the coming decades.
