The Salamonie Watershed (HUC 05120102) covers approximately 1,252 square miles in northeastern Indiana. The watershed is characterized by rolling hills and flat plains, and the Salamonie River is the main waterway that runs through the area. The hydrology of the watershed is influenced by the presence of several reservoirs, including the Salamonie and Mississinewa Reservoirs, which were constructed for flood control, recreation, and water supply. The watershed receives an average of 35 inches of precipitation per year, with the majority falling as rain during the growing season. Snowfall is typically minimal in the area. Surface water quality in the Salamonie Watershed is generally good, but there are occasional issues with sedimentation and nutrient pollution. The watershed is home to a number of fish and wildlife species, including smallmouth bass, channel catfish, and several species of turtles. There are no particularly interesting climatic facts or trends specific to the Salamonie Watershed, but like much of the Midwest, the area has experienced increasing temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events in recent years.
