Watershed Hydrology

The Mohican Watershed (HUC 05040002) covers approximately 1,550 square miles in central Ohio. The watershed is home to many streams and rivers, including the Mohican River, Clear Fork Creek, and the Black Fork of the Mohican River. The Mohican River is a significant source of drinking water for several communities in the area. The area experiences a humid continental climate with warm summers and cold winters. The watershed receives an average of 38 inches of precipitation each year, with about 55% falling as rain and 45% as snow. The region has experienced an increase in average temperature and precipitation over the past few decades, which has impacted the snowpack and surface water levels. There are several reservoirs in the watershed, including Charles Mill, Pleasant Hill, and Clear Fork Reservoirs, which provide water for recreation, irrigation, and flood control. The reservoirs also contain various constituents such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment, which can affect water quality. Overall, the Mohican Watershed is an important ecological and economic resource for central Ohio, and its health and sustainability are crucial for the region's future.
