Withlacoochee

Watershed Hydrology

The Withlacoochee watershed covers an area of 3,510 square miles and includes parts of Georgia and Florida. The hydrology of the watershed is mainly influenced by rainfall and the topography of the area. The watershed receives an average of 52 inches of rainfall annually, and the water flows through several rivers and streams before eventually reaching the Gulf of Mexico. The area does not typically receive snowfall, and therefore, there is no significant snowpack to impact the hydrology of the watershed. Surface water in the watershed is used for various purposes, including irrigation, drinking water, and recreation. The reservoirs within the watershed contain varying amounts of constituents, including sediment and nutrients. The climate in the watershed is generally warm and humid, with temperatures ranging from the high 60s to the low 90s. In recent years, there has been an increase in extreme weather events, including hurricanes and flooding, which have impacted the watershed.
