The Kinchafoonee-Muckalee Watershed (HUC 03130007) covers an area of 1,428 square miles in southwestern Georgia. The watershed encompasses diverse landscapes, including forests, wetlands, farmland, and urban areas. The Kinchafoonee and Muckalee rivers, along with their tributaries, are the primary hydrological features in the watershed. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with average annual precipitation of 47 inches, evenly distributed throughout the year. The area is prone to occasional flooding, especially during the rainy season. The watershed contains several reservoirs, including Lake Blackshear and Lake Chehaw, which are important for water supply, recreation, and wildlife habitat. The snowpack in this region is typically minimal due to the relatively mild winters. The reservoirs in the watershed are influenced by agricultural and urban land uses, which can contribute to water pollution and nutrient loading.
