The Sucarnoochee Watershed (HUC 03160202) covers approximately 1,008 square miles in western Georgia and eastern Alabama. The watershed is characterized by a humid subtropical climate and experiences an average annual precipitation of 55-60 inches. The topography of the area consists of a mix of rolling hills and flatlands, which contributes to the hydrology of the watershed. The Sucarnoochee River is the main surface water feature of the watershed and is fed by several smaller streams and tributaries. There is no specific snowpack in this region, as it is not typically cold enough for snow to accumulate. The reservoirs in the watershed are primarily used for flood control and recreation purposes. The main constituents of the reservoirs are sediment and organic matter. Interesting climatic facts include the occasional occurrence of tropical storms and hurricanes that can bring significant rainfall to the area. There is also a trend of increasing temperatures and decreasing precipitation in the region, which may have implications for the watershed in the future.
