The Connoquenessing Watershed, located in western Pennsylvania, covers approximately 820 square miles and is part of the Allegheny River Basin. The hydrology of the watershed is primarily influenced by precipitation, with an average annual rainfall of 40 inches. The area also experiences moderate snowfall, with average snowpack of 30 inches in the winter months. The watershed is home to several surface water sources, including the Connoquenessing Creek and several reservoirs, which supply drinking water to nearby communities. The water quality in the watershed is impacted by agricultural and industrial activities, leading to elevated levels of nutrients and sediments. Climate trends in the area suggest an increase in average temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and flooding. The Connoquenessing Watershed Association works to protect and improve the health of the watershed through education, outreach, and restoration projects.
